Erick Winkowski's new MACRODOSE video part for Santa Cruz just dropped, and let me be the first to say—it's an absolute breath of fresh air. I mean, of course it is. This is Winkowski we're talking about here! Stop what you're doing and press play:

I can't help but feel like a broken record when I talk about Winkowski, but that's just how it is—the dude epitomizes ATV skateboarding. A true all-terrain killer. 

From tight backyard pools and crusty banks to roofs, wild architecture, and pole jams, all the way to handrail hammers, hucking himself down stair sets—and truly everything else in between—he's just one of those skateboarders who's gonna skate it all, simply for the sake of skating it all. This dude deserves his spot in the van, that's for sure. 

Say what you want, but these days you could argue there's as much originality in skateboarding as there isn't. However, when you're talking about a skateboarder like Erick Winkowski, there's really no debate—the dude is a true original. Through and through. 

The best part is, you can tell he's out there having the time of his life. And honestly, who wouldn't be? When you can basically skate anything, anywhere, anytime, the fun will never end. I've been a fan of Winkowski for years now and that admiration only continues to grow with edits like this. One of a kind! 

Spontaneous. Stylish. Unpredictable. When you're talking about the way somebody skates, these certainly aren't the worst words to have in the conversation, that's for sure. Erick is all of these and more. Never a dull moment! I've watched the part a few times now and it just keeps getting better. 

The fact that he's doing it all on an old 80s shape isn't even surprising these days, either. Winkowski ain't following crowds or trends. He walks a path of his own and I absolutely love it. Okay, enough from me, though. Press play. Then press play again.
