Why skaters like it

Gets linked whenever skaters talk about perfectionism, rituals or OCD. People point to it as proof of how far Reynolds pushes himself for one clean make.

“Pretty sure this is from the documentary The Madness about Reynolds' obsessive compulsive habits while skating. He lands this trick like 30 times in a row before he gets the one he wants.”

I was gonna post this if someone hadn't already. This was so fucking frustrating to watch. The other video about Andrews OCD is really interesting. I'll post it if I can find it without too much trouble. EDIT: Not the clip I was thinking of, but a really good example of what The Boss describes as "The Madness" [VIDEO]
