8hands featured show: Epicly Later'd
Since the first episode I caught on Dustin Dollin, I have been completely obsessed with Patrick O'Dell's self professed "nerdy skateboard show" on VBS, Epicly Laterd. Seriously. I think it's one of the only RSS feeds that I am religious about checking. Before the show, my skateboarding knowledge was basically limited to two movies about the Dogtown boys and the doc on Gator. That's about it. Didn't know a frontside from a backside from a noseflip.
But honestly, Epicly Later'd is way more than a skateboarding history lesson. Each episode (or sometimes series, like the epic 16 parter on the great John Cardiel) is a mini documentary, capturing those special people that are that much more driven to their limits (and the demons that often go along with it). What I love about the show is that O'Dell is obviously part of this world, documenting his friends and heros, doing so without judgement or sugar.
I'll start you all off with my all time top 5 Epicly Later'ds (so hard to pick just 5, you'll have to promise to watch them all). Enjoy...
