I’ve been a fan of Mark Suciu’s skating for years; I love his tech ledge tricks, his ability to piece together really exciting lines, and that you can tell he cares, he puts in effort. In the recent THUNDER TRUCKS: … Continue reading Behind The Loops: Mark Suciu on the “THUNDER TRUCKS: NYC FOUR DAYS” Edit
Black Lives Matter. That is more important than anything else in this blog post, and I want that to be made clear. It’s very cool to see skateboarders come together and stand up to fight against racism. Keep an eye out for gatherings put together by skateboarders all over, there’s one called “Rolling for Rights” coming up in San Diego.
Since the last blog post, a lot has happened over on our Instagram. “Dylan Week” wrapped up, we announced the winner of our giveaway with Thunder Trucks, and some other loops of amazing skateboarders were made.
Dylan Week was a special one. Dylan Rieder will always be one of my favorite skateboarders, he really proved to me that how you do a trick is just as important, or more important, than what trick you do. I also love how much Dylan influenced skateboarding as a whole, through the way he dressed, and his trick selection.
It’s been a few weeks since I updated the blog, but there’s been plenty of new loops up on the Instagram. A couple weeks ago I did “Wade Week”, then followed it up with “Max Palmer week”, and just yesterday announced our giveaway with Thunder Trucks.
Wade Week was really fun. Although I’m not new to watching Wade’s footage, I had not seen some of his older parts before making these loops. I really enjoyed watching his footage, as he always looks relaxed and in control, while doing very tech tricks.
Our friend Damon Thorley from Thunder Trucks hit me up a few weeks ago and gave me the opportunity to pick my 5 favorite loops of Thunder riders, to be used on Thunder’s Instagram.
After looking through the archives, I selected 5 and sent them over. Here are my 5 favorite loops of Thunder riders, in no particular order, and some reasons as to why they stand out to me.
