Do the Thing Diaries, with Cj Wellsmore and Joe Atkinson: Bittercold Showdown 2023 and Session with Paul John in Chicago.

After a 10ish year hiatus BCSD is back for one more time. Everyone skated incredible and sorry to the homies who I missed your clips cause its very hard to capture truly everything but I do my best to make it quality filming and zoom and editing. I am happy with how this turned out because I worked hard and fought a lot to be able to make it so I could document these athletes. If you made it this far I am appreciative and hope you like it. Leave some love in the comments cause that’s all im asking of anyone. With all that being said click play. Enjoy. - Hawke Trackler.

Paul John new Pro wheels available now! This wheel is 57/88 perfect for street and a good size to ride flat. Paul John, a resident of Chicago, has been with Gawds since day one! His wild style in the streets has him standing out for sure. If you catch PJ at a contest, you can see him in his ultimate form. Always full throttle.
