If you're a skateboarder and you're on the internet at all, you've probably noticed that, for the most part, your favorite companies are doing nothing online but passing you the scraps that they wouldn't possibly be able to use anywhere else. Saving all of the good stuff for a DVD that they can't figure out why they're losing money on, there's a marketing and distribution flaw at work (that is obviously much bigger and further reaching than just skateboarding) that'll surely be adjusted in a few years when everybody catches up with the few companies who are ahead of the curve. Until then, we all suffer... but there is hope for new and interesting skateboarding video shits online! Patrick O'Dell's documentary show, Epicly Later'd, on VBS.tv doesn't bring you what's left over and it doesn't bring you hammers but instead it brings a whole other side of things: a fresh look at skateboarding from the inside, a documentation of what it's like to actually be out in the streets living life as a professional skateboarder. No scraps, it's an Epic meal. So eat it.
