This video part has taken me a long time to release, and I would like to thank everyone who helped me along the way. Its a mixture of California and Hawaii footage over the past year, and its a warm up video for what’s to come.  Thanks to Mom, Dad, and Grandma, I love you.  Turn up the volume please.

I recently learned from my friend Cory Renstrom, that Van Wastell has passed away. Van Wastell tragically died while on tour in Germany by falling from his hotel room window.  Van was a Newbery Park skateboarder from the west coast, and was a stand out among my peer group.  After many years of progessive amature skating, Van recently turned pro, and was on his second pro model board with krooked. I never personally knew Van Wastell, but the incident has deeply affected me, as I’m sure it has to the rest of the skateboarding community.  Van Wastell was a magnificient skateboarder.  He has been an inspiration to skateboarding, and will never be forgotten as many other skateboarders of the past.  This tragedy has made me to look at life differently.  Life is a fragile thing. 

I would like to thank Alex Von Furstenburg and Craig Clunies-Ross for giving me the opportunity to skateboard for Clout.  I would also like to thank Jeff Skene who helps me so much in life.  Thanks to everyone involved with Clout, and all the people I’ve grown up with, I appreciate the support. I would also like to thank my family and The United States Government, I am happy to be a part of this country.

David is working on another video part for Clout which will be released in a few months.  Until then, here is a segment representing a different time in David’s life.  Much has changed since the reckless days of his youth, but his unrivaled devotion and commitment to skating will continue for years to come.
