A product of Daytona Beach, Florida, Devin Bagnoli takes us back to where it all started in a fresh, full part titled “Daytona.” Devin’s hesh, chopper-riding, tattoo-laced style is impeccable when he steps on a board, and in this part — paying homage to his hometown — he puts it all on display. Created with only one week to film, Devin cranked out clip after clip for this one.<br /><br />Well-calculated with a creative eye for spots, Devin always seems to find a unique approach to what he’s skating. A master of minimalist spots, watch Devin’s huge snaps, quick flips and calm confidence come together in “Daytona.” And for good measure, he mixed in a few transition clips because Floridians can do it all. #platfrm <br /><br />Subscribe to the Platfrm channel!<br />https://bit.ly/4aScSzM<br /><br />Follow us on:<br />TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_platfrm<br />Instagram: http://instagram.com/theplatfrm<br />Facebook: http://facebook.com/theplatfrm<br />Twitter: http://twitter.com/the_platfrm

A master of notoriously tight transitions, Tristan Rennie was raised skating in backyard pools to become one of the best to ever do it. Inviting the crew to tag along, Tristan Rennie and Steve Alba lead us on a two-pool mission around the San Bernardino area to skate Ridiculous Pool and Bottom of the Hill.<br /><br />“Because it was ridiculously good for the time,” says Tristan of the naming origins of the first spot. Complete with a brief history of the pool’s access over the years, a few of his own childhood memories and a short list of pros who have clipped up there, from “Tony Hawk to Guy Mariano,” in Tristan’s view, “It is one of the most iconic pools in modern skateboarding.”<br /><br />After making quick work of the Ridiculous Pool and firing up the squad — Yuro Nagahara, Eric Hutchinson, Jesse Lindloff, Hampus Winberg and Shota Mizote — a few of the crew break off from the session to finish things off at Bottom of the Hill. Don’t worry, we got the naming origins of that one, too. #platfrm<br /><br />Subscribe to the Platfrm channel!<br />https://bit.ly/4aScSzM<br /><br />Follow us on:<br />TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_platfrm<br />Instagram: http://instagram.com/theplatfrm<br />Facebook: http://facebook.com/theplatfrm<br />Twitter: http://twitter.com/the_platfrm
