This week we are taking a break from discussing video. We may have reached maximum saturation and are experiencing the ‘law of diminishing returns’ in that while the videos that were released this week were no doubt impressive - checking the boxes - after a blitzkrieg of edits - my brain is feeling a little overloaded.

EUROPE - MONS ROISLAND 1:05:12

EAST COAST - RALPH KUCHAREK 1:08:21

Then we check out the event landscape for the 2019-2020 Season - looking at both the major events and the creative ones that are springing up and talk with PAT MOORE about his METHODOLOGY event series as well as the SKOLF series with AIRBLASTER’S MAX TOKANAGA.
