This one's for all the internet lurkers that may be prone to looking at skate news, gossip, video more than they are prone to the actual act of going skateboarding. Sometimes it's easy to forget that without the simple act of skateboarding, none of the countless hours spent rummaging the web for the latest skate-related morsels would exist. In this chicken-egg scenario, the chicken came first and it was stapled to a skateboard.
With this in mind, our guy Josh Brooks was able to peel himself away from his computer for the afternoon yesterday to go roll with Ben Karpinski and Nick Garcia. But being the true professional that he is, even on a skate break, Josh managed to film Nick and Ben ripping at the Bellflower skatepark in SoCal. And since you probably clicked the video before reading this, I don't even need to tell you that Garcia was casually ripping. Enjoy the vid and then remember to go enjoy the act of skateboarding yourself.
