    This is like the Christmas present your parents held off giving you on Christmas Day to give you a day or two later to keep that festive stoke alive. In this case it's pure skate stoke. Nice one Ben, wonderful to watch you on the Nine Club earlier this week, and so rad to see you skating, getting me stoked for my session today. It's cold in Japan but it's sunny. Thanks! 👊

    This was so nice to watch. Thanks for putting no music in it. Made it such a better viewing experience.
    Love this kind of format. Keep 'em coming.
    I've been to LA in 2022 and was skating at the Courthouse Ledges just like you. Brought back some memories.
    Cheers from Germany.

    54 this year and I slowed down on my skating. I took a big slam and didn't recover so fast. As I type this, I went skiing with my kids and lost my balance and fell on my ribs. I have a cracked rib and in some pain, but not ready to give up skiing and skating. FYI - one of your vids on taping was super helpful when I needed to patch some sheetrock. Been watching your vids for a long time and really enjoy your content. Was sad to see you weren't going to make anymore vids, but glad you did so. Thanks!

    I think the kids have it right with snail squasher wheels wide 53mm soft wheels and normal hight trucks for clearance on the curbs.
    Looking forward to Chris's boards and what he skaters for the local street obstacles for adapting to the terrain.

    I grew up on strange notes ( 04 to 2012 ) my friends and I always referred to your brother as the most under rated dude. Fast forward to a couple years ago, and I discover his brothers also a legend whos as educated on wheelbases as I, lol. A special thing to be able to share something like skateboarding with your sibling.
