#TBT PJ Ladd's Wonderful, Horrible Life

In the history of skateboarding there are only two other examples of people coming onto the scene via rookie video parts as hard as PJ did in the Coliseum video: Pat Duffy and Chris Joslin. So like, pretty much once per decade on average since the start of the 90s. There are a couple things that should be said here. First, I’d never heard of PJ Ladd until this video came out. Second, it was a shop video (!), and as far as I remember I’d never heard of Coliseum before I saw this video either. Third, PJ was light years ahead of the times. This part is still my favorite of anything he’s ever done because it was so ridiculous, unexpected, and amazing. There’s a lot of flatground skating, but it’s the best flatground skating ever, and then there’s everything else he does. Minds blown kids.
