Ahead of this season premiere, we feel the need for the following disclaimer; Joe Hinson, team rider for Darkstar Skateboards, is NOT a crap skateboarder.
This makes him perfect for us to live vicariously through him. James and Jack grew up as country bumpkins who miraculously stumbled upon skateboarding, as did Joe. James and Jack love skateboarding unconditionally, as does Joe. The fork in the road is the part where Joe got good...like, really, really good. Good enough, in fact, to catch the eye of American Industry leaders, Darkstar Skateboards.
In this episode, Joe kindly takes time out of his busy schedule to walk a couple of fanboys through the journey of becoming a sponsored skateboarder, from humble beginnings, to making a name in the UK scene, to attending video premieres in California.
Oh, what could (never) have been.
