http://mpora.com/videos/LR5yiZeTP It’s always nice to see an old-school board being taken on by a pro, especially when they ride it as well as Fredrik Evensen does. Here he takes a Sims ‘Halfpipe Freestye’ stick from 1988 for a session in the pipe, throwing stuff cleaner than most folk would on a brand new twin.

The reason it’s a seven-minute edit is Eric Themel‘s seemingly insatiable desire to talk a lot about the board. It’s a minute-and-a-half wait before we get to see any riding, and the action is repeatedly broken up by Eric filming himself talking about how rad the board is. A lesson to be heeded by edit-makers everywhere: more action, less chat!
