Just finished watching Dennis Busenitz in Real Skateboards’ newest video, Since Day One, and have a few thoughts.

1. Real is just that- Real. They have kept it real for two decades now by showcasing pure skateboarding. No skits, no gimmicks, no B.S. Sure, we all love Max Schaaf, but a lot of companies would have hit their vert button and sent him packing.

2. I hate to rank skateboarders, but I often think about the legacies they will leave behind. With his most recent part, Dennis Busenitz has begun to approach the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) category. He isn’t in it yet, but if he keeps pushing as fast as he is, he’ll get there within the next five years. Of course, that is a long time, but am I wrong (and is it hearsay?) to say that he is basically Cardiel status at this point?

Unrelated to Busenitz’s awesomeness is a short little Converse Thailand tour. More than any of the big guns (Nike, Vans), Converse’s Asia game is on point. Below comes courtesy of Legion of Sorts:

Wait. Can’t embed the video for some reason. Check it HERE.
