3 Minutes with Davis Torgerson

etnies.com April 2009
Last September on the Japan tour, Sean Malto was raving over this one video part he saw on YouTube—bringing his laptop into everyone’s rooms and making us watch. After witnessing four and a half minutes of some of more stylish ripping we’d seen in a while, followed by the nollie frontside hurricane ender, we were all pretty blown away.
“Oh isn’t that the kid who nollie heeled the Brooklyn Banks rail?” Someone said. A web clip here, a photo there, an in-person spotting at Tampa Am or the Brooklyn Banks… as it turns out, we all kinda knew about Davis in one form or another.
It wasn’t long before everyone was saying “We need to get Davis on etnies!” And lucky for us, he was down to join the crew. We took him to Florida last month and it felt like he’d been on the team for years. There was no weirdness, no “getting to know you” nonsense… just skating and good times.
The way Davis skates doesn’t need to be compared to anyone else out there. He’s not the “If you mixed Skater X with Skater Y and a little of Skater Z you get Davis Torgerson” type of dude. We’re just flat-out down for him and looking forward to our future with him. Welcome to the etnies team, Davis.

I've heard this song incessantly for the last few weeks. Evidently it's the hot shit. So I finally decided to YouTube the damn thing and see what it was all about. I guess I should've known better.
Over it...

3:54 pm. Weird, inexplicable sand pit next to Laguna Beach boardwalk. Young lady alive but face down for quite some time.

This happens to me too often. Waiting to see the reaction of the server is always pretty fun though. I even got a free dessert this time. So worth it.
