In the nine years between Shane O’Neill’s groundbreaking GOES parts, we’ve watched him grow from an exceptional pro to one of the best of all time. Shane is an undeniable force on the merits of skating alone. But beyond the stunts and unreal feats of tech prowess, he’s also shaped the industry’s landscape—first with a jump to the elite Primitive team then as founder of the arguably as-elite April. All these moves are made more impressive by the fact he juggled ´em alongside the responsibilities of becoming a father. But you already know all this. What you might not know is how to measure the sum total of destruction contained in Shane Goes 1 and 2. Don’t worry. In the age of mass-data surveillance, phony metrics and shoddy reporting, we got your back. Check the numbers we found from counting through two of the best parts of the modern era. All counts are cumulative from both videos unless otherwise stated. Got a problem with it? Take it up with your math teacher. —Ted Schmitz
