American Misfits season 3 teaser from 2HeadedHorse on Vimeo.
SYNOPSIS:
“In August 2009 we drove a 1979 Mercedes bio-diesel hearse from Los Angeles to Atlanta, GA then all the way up to Portland, ME. We visited 25 cities in 30 days. This wasn’t your average skateboard tour … it was WAR. We got a crash-course tour of 25 different skate scenes and filmed the best locals we could get our hands on. That month of footage became 8 episodes that will air on FUEL TV in 2010. This is a sneak peak at the Gnar we captured that hot, hot month of August.”
Nate Sherwood teaches you how to beat your friends in skate with this pressure flip power move. THE “BIG SPIN PRESSURE FLIP” is a fun trick to have in your bag.
