[Season 3 Episode 4]
On a sweaty, steamy Chicago summer day, @suicide.shots and I headed for the streets to explore over 30 miles of concrete, Midwestern grit, and gentrification. The rough cut of this video was 71 minutes, so you can imagine the hours of long quality conversations that we had.
You can find @suicide.shots on Instagram. He's riding a custom 12s12p Lacroix Electric Skateboard.
My Electric Skateboard:
]The Velocity Unbound was designed by @18s.proto and myself. It was built and tested by ChiBattery Systems and @18s.proto. The overall design and "vibe" of this board has Ernesto of Kaly.NYC electric skateboards to thank, although only one part of this board is technically from him.
