YouTube: Thrasher
In the new Thrasher Magazine YouTube video titled "Cordano Russell - Skater XXL," the skate bible followed the up-and-coming Olympic athlete Cordano Russell to document his life from a young skateboarder to joining Ed Templeton's Toy Machine.
The video follows Russell, a towering 6-foot-4, 240-pound Christian skateboarder, is challenging skateboarding's norms, and Thrasher is now promoting the corporate skater to compete for the gold medal in the Paris Olympics.
The first video shows the inspiring moments of a father supporting his son, landing a gnarly 260 flip to frontside lipslide on a massive handrail.
This is just the beginning of Russell's remarkable story.
