Unlike most people, skatehousemate and Landyachtz Legion of Shred rider Pat Schep doesn’t pop and lock his powerslides. He just kind of leans back until the skateboard starts sliding, then rides it out before he slows down too much. Rocking that style on sticky, resealed pavement like this can sometimes end badly, as the wheels tend to grip up unexpectedly; but Pat pulled this off straight out of the tour van, no problem.
Venom, Caliber, and Madrid pro rider “Slippery Pete” Eubank, on the other hand, has been known to lock that back knee out from time to time.
Crucial thanks to Paris Trucks for sponsoring the Up North, Down Hills tour.
