Welcome back to Epicly Later’d… sorry its been so long. For the first episode of Season 7 we have a Kevin ‘Spanky’ Long episode update redux. I say that because Spanky already had a few episodes in the early years of the show. But we thought his story needed an update.

We started this episode not long after Kevin got kicked off Baker and Emerica and we filmed an interview every 6 months or so until recently. That’s why his hair keeps changing lengths throughout the show. He got kicked off sponsors for drinking and partyin’ and basically not skating all that much... he also got set on fire, his wife bailed, his mom died… a series of bad events. But through it he thought ‘i’m not done yet.’ He didn’t let it beat him and got back on the board.

Kevin is very inspiring to me and his attitude towards skateboarding refreshing. In my interviews for the episode, Atiba, Jerry, and Neck Face all referred to Spanky as their best friend, and I would also like to think of him as my best friend too. So this piece is special to me, and I hope that comes through. Hope you enjoy it.
