In this episode I link up with Josh “Zilla,” a young dude with the heart of an ’80s skater, and it’s honestly one of my favorite kinds of sessions to film. He’s out here keeping it OG with reverts, sweepers, bonelesses, and then he drops his own original trick—the Zilla Flip. Watching a grom choose style and creativity over the same recycled stuff is exactly why old school skating still matters. We also talk setups, because Josh isn’t just doing old school tricks—he’s riding the right kind of gear for it too. He’s been rocking an old school Mike V Powell Peralta setup (and a few others), and the whole vibe is like seeing a young Mike Vallely in the making. Josh even impressed Mike V himself through the Stoke Brigade with that Zilla Flip, which tells you everything you need to know: the kid’s got talent, originality, and the right mindset. If you miss the days when tricks had personality, this one’s for you.
