As you'll soon learn, Nick Merlino has made some pretty serious life changes over the past few years but one thing is certain—he's looking as strong as ever on his board these days. Hammer after hammer after hammer, this new part is a real breath of fresh air. Take a look:

The part might be titled "Short But Sweet," but honestly, this is a super proper three minute video part if you ask me. Nick truly hasn't slowed down and is still one of those skaters who lives for hucking himself down huge gaps, stairs and rails like it's 2008.

In fact, some of these clips are some of the heaviest moves I've seen in a minute! That massive frontside flip over the rail in Long Beach? Unreal. As far as enders are concerned, that is an ender-ender. If you've ever seen that spot in real life, it's almost hard to even fathom stepping to it. And honestly, he was a bit too casual after rolling away! I'd be going nuts.

Glad to see Nick is in a good place these days. Sounds like his mind is right, his skating is on point, personal life is great—all good stuff. Thanks for the little update Nick! What's next on the list?
