Episode 91 with Colin Read, skateboarder and filmmaker from Stuart, Florida. Together we discussed him growing up and starting skateboarding in Florida, breaking his pelvis at the age of 19 which led him to start filming his friends, moving to NYC at the age of 21 and living there ever since, making independent skate films throughout the ’s among which “Mandible Claw” (), “Tengu: God of Mischief” () and the cult classic “Spirit Quest” (), dealing with gnarly back issues which forced him to take a long break from filming skateboarding, transitioning into music videos (for Radiohead, Weezer or Glass Animals to name a few) and commercial film work (for Apple, Converse, Burberry…) and much more through surprise questions from friends of his.

What is it like to fly? Not in the conventional way we humans have managed to figure out, cooped up in hulks of steel propelled by fuel pulled from the earth or by jumping off some peak with fabric wings in place of feathers, but as bipedal creatures simply taking off from the ground into the sky.
If anyone knows, it's probably vert skaters. To float a frontside air, crouched high above like an eagle waiting to strike, or bone out a backside grab and watch the future rush forward as you look back over your shoulder must be surreal. Unreal. For real, if I could, I would trade many things to have the ability to fly in the way that vert skaters do.
Okay, maybe vert skaters aren't flying flying. Perhaps intermittent soaring is more accurate. Whatever you call it, it's special, and the closest most of us will get to feeling that feeling is watching Jimmy Wilkins and Shea Donavan's Under, Over video part released by Thrasher on Monday. Donavan and Wilkins follow one another around Tony Hawk's ramp, weaving, as the title suggests, over and under one another in a doubles routine that is as physically impressive as it is visually arresting.
