Davonte Jolly recently uploaded just over 11 minutes of raw Zion Wright clips from the GODSPEED era, and let me just say, they're straight up bonkers. Jolly rolls with some of the heaviest skateboarders in the game, and we all know Zion is built different... but a little reminder like this never hurts. Settle in. Press play. Get stoked.

Reflecting on this epic project, Jolly mentioned, "Zion was the first person I got a clip with for Godspeed when it was just an idea. Extremely proud of his part in the film and grateful he wanted all his footage to go towards my first film instead of letting sponsors rob it from us like they usually try to do haha." 

It's easy to forget that Zion Wright is such an all-terrain killer. He'll conquer the heaviest kinkers, 540 on a vert ramp, rip around the tightest bowls and transition... and that list goes on. Safe to say, skateboarding is in good hands with dudes like Zion. 

His part in GODSPEED was one of my favorites, no debate. But I'll always appreciate some raw clips all the same. These are the moments that make up the videos we all love so much, and we often forget just how much effort goes into these quick two-to-three second clips! 

If you haven't seen GODSPEED, you should tap the link below. The entire video still holds up to this day. In fact, it's almost hard to believe it dropped all the way back in 2020! 

Aside from the skaters, Davonte Jolly has stayed busy behind the lens all the same, and quite frankly, I'd expect nothing less. His talent speaks for itself but his drive is really something to admire. 

Again, if you haven't seen GODSPEED, add it to your to-do list today. But don't forget to watch these ripping Zion Wright clips first!
