      You skate something you think is huge and steep and you see it on a video and it looks small. I hate that!

      It’s so big and that concrete doesn’t provide a lot of grip. It’s nog forgiving to fall on that stuff and he is ripping!

    I dreamed one day someone would do this when I first saw a skate park in 1977 in Buena Park, California at Skatopia. I'm 58 now, thanks for sharing this absolutely amazing ride. If there's dirt bikes in heaven, perhaps eternity and a forever young body will allow me the opportunity learn, and to ride like this.
    It was beautiful Joshua. 🏆 Hope you recovered well from the last overrun ❤️ 🙏

It’s been a joy to watch your career and post career. Making most of that talent you got through your adversities. Keep it rolling man.
