SkepticMedia™ NowhereClose Trailer

Navin Hardyal and the Skeptic Media crew answer the call and shut up all you little internet kids. Remember to pick your jaw up from the ground after the trailer’s done. “Times are tough and skaters have enough to worry about when having to shell out money to replace skate parts, traveling to spots, buying food out on the road. SkepticMedia™ has decided to take one more financial burden off of the struggling modern day skater and announce our video to be released, online. We see no need in charging to share something we all know and love and cant get enough of. Expect the online video release in a month. A special thank you to all of our sponsors who were also major supporters for our “Fair is Fair Competition” last thanksgiving” – Skeptic Media.
