Aidans Mackey Tape

For a while now, it seems that the skateboarding culture has been divided into two camps: there’s the glamorously glittering world of Nyjah and his kin, inhabited by multimillionaire skateboarders and huge corporate deals. Then there’s the rebel camp: a growing number of indomitable skateboarders continue to resist the promises of full HD, energy drink sponsorships and luxurious lifestyles. This video perfectly encapsulates the proverbial middle finger of skateboarding’s renegades that oppose the increasing commodification and softening of skateboarding. Who gives a damn about HD, about editing that fits the music, and about clean lenses? Exactly.

Aidan, way to stick it to the man!
