It’s rare that someone’s go-to trick is one that would be a stretch for most skaters—even on a basic obstacle, let alone one they would bring to a high, round bar. Sam has a way of making near-impossible tricks seem mundane—almost too easy. There were no warmup tricks, no hesitation to test the waters. All I could do was laugh at how effortless it looked.
