Skateboarding
“It gets to a point, where you can only beat yourself up mentally so much,” says Chris Joslin after the premiere of his latest video part, “Joyce.” Being human, we can only take so much which can be hard to remember when you are skating, mid-battle and on the cusp of victory. Add in factors like being in the streets, on a trip, in a foreign country and on a deadline… you can only hope your body and mind are in synch, ready to seal the deal.
Still, even Chris Joslin (who is almost-certainly a mutant, super-human) has to draw the line somewhere. “It could happen any try, 'cause that’s skateboarding. And then you have to be like, ‘Alright, not today.’ It has to be that matter-of-fact.”
As the clock was winding down on his final trip overseas filming for a part that was already more than a year in the making and more than a month spent skating in Barcelona, Spain… Joslin still needed a hammer. He set his sights on a 7-flat-7 double-set in Badalona (north end of Barcelona), known to be the biggest thing out there. Hear him recap his time spent filming abroad, plus his process for regularly stepping to the heaviest spots he can find in this episode of TIMELINE featuring Chris Joslin.
