Southern California is a blessed place where skateboarding is not just a way to while away adolescence, but a way of life and a legit mode of transportation for grown-ups. We salute this skater who wanted to test the theory that more is better: if one skateboard is awesome, why not try two? So there he goes in a parking lot in Highland Park (I'm guessing), seemingly oblivious to the fact that he's heading into oncoming traffic or the siren. It's kind of a graceless version of that Jean Claude Van Damme Volvo commercial.
The Vine was taken by skating photographer Brent O'Donnell whose work you can find here and here.
