Pray for mercy
Mosaic Bearings just put out this short promo with Jesus Fernandez absolutely killing it. And seriously, this overseas outsourcing shit has got to stop, because these foreign wunderkinds are going to put wholesome American skateboarders out of work! Or… I guess American skateboarders will actually have to go find work instead of just having the best life ever and getting paid for it.
This isn’t a point of pride or anything, but I spent my childhood years in a pretty wealthy suburban town on the East Coast where you were more likely to find a unicorn than walk past somebody who wasn’t white. So when I went to high school a few towns away, where the population was considerably more diverse, I was rather surprised to learn that “Jesus” was a common name. Before that, I thought it was pretty fucking rare… as in, one person had it. You know, just some dude from a couple thousand years ago who gave us the beautiful gift of Christianity, which has been used as a great excuse to blow each other up ever since.
Nonetheless, if any of the Jesuses out there could possibly live up to the so-called Messiah’s namesake, it’d have to be Jesus Fernandez. That opening backside 360 bigspin flip alone could turn water into wine. Shit’s downright miraculous.
I think multiple Jesuses should be called ‘Jesi.’ Just saying.
