DJ Night Stalker









Since we finished our last video, Matt's been killing it. We took a couple week break from filming, but the past little while, we've pretty much been filming nonstop for our next little project. Filming every day is pretty much what gets us through every day... Here Matt is gracing all of you with a backside 270 kickturn on a tricky bank.

So Bolts of Thunder is going to release its annual skate dictionary in a couple weeks. You'll notice some changes from last year's edition; we have dropped words that people don't use any more like "yeah" and "stick it", and we've added a couple new words that seem to be current household words. One such word being "pussy". Now this is pussy in the traditional sense, like a cat. When someone does a trick that is wondrous to behold, that person is said to have cat-like ability. Hence why we would call that person a "pussy". It's the highest of complements. Let me give you an example of how this might be used in a sentence. Let's say, for instance, that you are watching your local skate hero at the newest, coolest spot, and he does a back trail dizzle spin flip to fakie without moving his arms, batting an eyelash, and keeping his head tucked all the while for dramatical emphasis on how much of a pussy (cat-like) he is. You can then shout out, "Pussy!" or "you're such a pussy!" or "You skate like a pussy!" to praise him. Seeing that he kept his head tucked as he rode away and his arms are still in that upper-cut position they were in when he landed the trick 8 seconds ago, he actually did the trick just so that you could recognize how much of a pussy he is, and he will thrive off of your comments. He will then proceed to do more amazing tricks and love all the attention he gets from it. This is one of the words Bolts of Thunder is adding to its dictionary this year. It's going to replace "butters" because "butters" isn't even a word and it sounded horrible when people used it anyway. Yeah, good thing we got rid of that word...
