Live #92 - Chris Joslin 360 Flips El Toro, Tom K vs Rodney Mullen, ASICS Full Length

·1 hr 56 min·5 clips

Chris Joslin finally landed his 360 flip down El Toro seven years after his first attempt, but did he really make it?

The episode opens with a merchandise promo before diving into the major news of Chris Joslin landing a 360 flip down the infamous El Toro stairs, revisiting his attempt from seven years ago where he rolled away but fell due to a broken truck. The hosts debate whether that original attempt constitutes a make. They then shift to discussing Tom Karengalov's Instagram post where he documented 'finding' the elusive Rodney Mullen skating alone in a warehouse parking lot, sparking nostalgia. This leads them to watch and comment on Rodney Mullen's part from the 1999 video 'Round Two,' analyzing his freestyle tricks and influence. A listener named Clutch Dumars calls in via the new Nine Club hotline to ask whether the newly released free-to-play 'Skate' video game will translate to increased business for skate shops or is merely a cash grab by EA. The hosts then play the game live on stream, discussing its cartoony Fortnite-like graphics versus its realistic trick mechanics. Later, they review ASICS' new full-length skate video 'Guided Tour,' highlighting clips from skaters like Yuto Horigome, Kieran Woolley, and Monica Torres, and critique the video's artistic, sometimes trippy editing. Throughout, the hosts banter about skate industry news, including VF Corp selling Dickies to Bluestar Alliance, and share personal anecdotes about push-up routines and cooking.
