Burton Presents: The Thinkers

Has a mermaid ever asked for your number? Do you like waffles?

And most importantly, have you ever done a big air, then pulled that thing and floated down…? These are just a few of the things that may or may not be answered in the latest Burton Presents episode, “The Thinkers,” featuring Danny Davis and skateboard/art legend Mark Gonzales. The two paired up to create the graphic for Danny's boards, The Deep Thinker and The Free Thinker. Although they worked together on the art for both boards, they had never actually met in person.

Until now. We tagged along on a visit to Mark’s NYC studio, went out on a little skate session, and then mixed in some of Danny’s riding - so, why are you still reading? Go enjoy the video. And when you're done, check out more about The Thinkers here.
