I know this is late and this isn't part of my blog portfolio, but the way this kid tells this story is so amazing that I had to post it.

I wouldn't have this story told any other way. Videography and skateboarding go hand in hand, so if it were a typed out article, it would feel contrived or sell out-ish, which is something skateboarders try so hard to avoid. The way that different film strips of Detroit, skateboarding, and still images break up the narrative don't take away from Ross's story at all. I feel that's it's equivalent to an image within a block of text. The way that film accentuates this story is so representative of the skateboarding lifestyle and without it, it would fall short.
