Epicly Later'd is an online skateboard show, produced by Patrick O'Dell. Patrick says it's for other skateboard nerds to watch and also says the show is for the bros and for the dudes out there doing some skating.

What I really like about this show is that it's not always about skateboarding, more i think it's about the life of a skateboarder. The skateboarders and people in the skateboard community that Patrick has filmed are some of the most influential people in the skateboard community like the editor of Thrasher Magazine Jake Phelps, Ray Barbee, Christian Hosoi, and the Gonz to name a few.

Below are a few samples of the show. You can view all the episodes at VBS.tv

Johnny Rodney Mullen (born August 17, 1966 in Gainesville, Florida) is a professional skateboarder, and widely ... all » considered to be one of the most influential skaters in the history of the sport. He is credited with inventing the majority of ollie and flip tricks introduced throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, including the flat-ground ollie, the Kickflip, the Heelflip, the 360 flip, and the Impossible, which are regularly performed in modern street and vertical skateboarding.

Rodney Mullen started skateboarding at the age of 10, when his father (who had opposed his son's wishes) finally agreed to give Rodney a skateboard on the condition that he always wears pads, and with the understanding that if he were to ever get hurt he would have to quit. On January 1, 1977 he bought his first skateboard. His first sponsor was Bill Murray at Inland Surf Shop where Rodney used to skate in their carpark. He rode a Walker Skateboard in his first contest at Kona in Jacksonville, FL in 1977, placing third in Boys Freestyle. The 11-year old attracted the attention of skateboard manufacturer Bruce Walker, which resulted in Mullen earning sponsorship with Walker Skateboards.

For the next 10 years, Rodney took first place in every contest he entered. His nearly 35 contest victories, mostly in Florida, culminated with a win at the Oceanside Nationals in June, 1979 in the 11-13 year old sponsored boys division. At the time, Rodney's coaching influence came primarily from Barry Zaritsky, a skateboard and fitness enthusiast who encouraged a radical training regimen for him. In 1980, the week of his 14th birthday, Rodney entered, and won, his first professional contest at the Oasis Pro in San Diego, beating the world champion, Steve Rocco.



Daewon Song (born February 19, 1975, Korean) is a professional, goofy-footed skateboarder. He is recognized for his technical street skateboarding. He co-owns Almost Skateboards with fellow pro Rodney Mullen, and skates for the team.

Daewon was born in Seoul, Korea on Feb. 19, 1975. When he was 13, a neighborhood kid gave him his board. He quickly got some money together and bought a used board. A few years later, a small skateboard company called Gemco came through on a demo tour. They saw him skate, and immediately signed him and took him back to the US.

Daewon is a close friend of a famous freestyle skater Rodney Mullen and is featured opposite in the skateboard video Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song. He also has the ending parts in both Almost Skateboard's Round Three and DVS Footwear's Skate More, and many of the old World Industries videos, and the two Deca videos. Daewon Song also recently featured alongside Chris Haslam in the miniramp video, Cheese & Crackers by Almost Skateboards.

Daewon was first sponsored by World Industries and appeared in their video Love Child in 1992. In 1999 he left World Industries to start his own company, Deca, and so Daewon appeared as a member of the Deca team in Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song Round 2. He then appeared in Deca's two videos. Deca folded and Daewon then started Artafakt Skateboards, which was short-lived, and finally ended up creating Almost Skateboards with Mullen.

Daewon received the Thrasher Magazine's Skater Of The Year award in 2006 as well as the "video part of the year" for his performance in Skate More at the 2006 Transworld Skateboarding awards

It's just me - I just skate. I wake up, and I'm motivated by trying new things. There's always progression. There's no limit on skateboarding. You don't think about it, you just go out and do it. All of a sudden, something comes up and you go for it. The progression is fast, but there're still so many things that aren't done. Basically there's no limit to skateboarding. It will be forever. There're always new tricks. There's never, 'Oh, there's nothing left.' That will never be.
