Bravo Cole! This is an incredibly in-depth and well-argued piece.
Its a shame that Rolling Away glossed over the meaning and motivation that drives Sheckler to overcome the adversity skateboarding threw his way. That is a real lost opportunity.
And it’s also a shame that the documentary doesn’t do Sheckler’s career justice as he has had an amazing career that deserved a through exploration.
That’s a sensationally good piece Cole 🤙
Thank you, Matthew!
It's such a pleasure to read such intelligent writing on skateboarding.

Thanks, Michael! Always appreciate you reading the thing.
Yeah, I agree. I don't think that was ever the intention of Rolling Away, though. An in-depth Sheckler doc one day would be cool.
