Andrew Reynolds - Life On Video: Episode 1: “As soon as I found skateboarding… everything else just stopped.” This is Andrew Reynolds recalling the time in his life when his identity officially shifted to “skateboarder.” His tipping point was a result of factors intersecting and weaving together all at once, but one of the biggest influences was also the most serendipitous: catching a commercial on TV for Vision’s “Psycho Skate” video. Reynolds says, “Something about it was just cooler than anything I had seen.” The idea that one of the most earth-shatteringly progressive skateboarders in the world was initially turned on to skating by an ‘80s artifact like “Psycho Skate” is jarring. It makes you appreciate that Reynolds is one of the few who truly guided skateboarding, creating a path and innovating a visual language that shaped our culture; when it comes to enduring trends, Reynolds is an undisputed leader.
Nothing is more annoying than these advertisements starting on auto-play. Don't get me wrong, I love Pinkbike and this is probably one of the few places I don't mind ads, because it's supporting this awesome website where we get great content for free. But it is very annoying that when you open this window, all the sounds start to play and you have to scroll through the whole page to find out which one to stop, and as soon as you stop it, another one starts to play and you have to start searching again. Please just start the ads when we hit the play-button and not automatically. For the rest, thanks for the awesome content and being awesome!
I know this isn't exactly Kosher but ad blocker is incredible in instances like this. Its easy to disable the blocker when viewing the rest of the site as well.
scott-townes of course ad blocker is a solution but I think it's not the way it should solve the problem. I think I can speak for nearly all pinkbike users: Advertisement is ok if it's for the website, but in a way that it isn't annoying. Just like Mattin said!
What content are we getting for free? These are user made videos, and links to YouTube videos. Don't get me wrong, I love Pinkbike, but trust me... they are getting theirs too. This isn't a none profit website.
@OFF2theGYM: Sure most of these videos will also get uploaded to Youtube, but I don't want to spend half my day searching for them. As well as all the news articles, reviews, interviews, etc, etc. Pinkbike is a full proper magazine we get for free.
And like I ment before, I know they're not non-profit, but I don't mind that here. I'm actually stoked these guys can live off their passion of cycling; creating and sharing content for us. The fact that some of them can probably live off it is the reason the quality is so high. I see watching the first 5 seconds of an advertisement before the Skip-button appears as something I'm willing to do back for them in exchange for the free content.
