First, enjoy this masterpiece:     I remember watching Bob Burnquist’s gold medal run on TV with my Dad almost 20 years ago. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime run (for most anyone except Burnquist), stringing together dream-trick after dream-trick…even the switch airs are ridiculous.

My favorite skate clip of all time. The rain, Ternasky hyping from behind the camera, Duffy going back for a second (and third) shot…I love everything about it.

The general idea behind TrickTape is straight-forward…skate shoes get damaged quickly, to the point that they’re pretty…
