POPULIST 2015 — Shane O’Neill

There’s a reason why Shane routinely makes the short list for every major award in skateboarding. He does things that many others can’t do, and he does it better than anyone else could. Check out his “Shane Goes” and “Welcome To Primitive” parts again, prime examples of a lifeform we can’t even begin to comprehend. But he didn’t stop at video parts – he placed 2nd in BATB8, put out an incredible 2UP, took 3rd in Street at Dew Tour LA, and consistenly placed in the top 8 at each Street League stop. Wow.
