Tradie Sporting Epic Mullet And Drinking VB Jumps On The ‘Dreams’ Skateboarding Trend

An Australian bloke has hopped on the social media skateboarding trend, made popular by a man in the US.

Jackson Bateman whacked his video on TikTok and it not only showed him cruising down the street listening to Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams', but it also showed him drinking a stubbie of VB.

Just when you thought it couldn't get more Australian, Jacko whips his glorious mullet around and we get to see his hairdo in full fashion.

After posting the clip to the social media site, the bricklayer has been flooded with likes and views.

The video has been seen 170,000 times and been liked by more than 17,000 users, with one person writing: "Omg. Fleetwood Mac, Mullet and VB. Ideal."

Another added: "This couldn't get more Aussie."

A third said: "Brilliant...there's literally nothing about this video I don't like."

Of course, this is based off the ridiculously viral video from Nathan Apodaca, who filmed himself listening and lip syncing to the track on his way home while skateboarding. He was chugging a bottle of cranberry juice and vibing on his own and it turns out the rest of the world was 100 per cent on his vibe.

Millions of people across the globe have viewed his video and it has even captured the attention of Fleetwood Mac.

He's been sent thousands of dollars from generous strangers, which Nathan says he'll put into getting a new RV after his current one stopped being able to pump fresh, clean water.

To say thanks for the unintentional plug, Ocean Spray, which was the brand of juice Nathan was drinking in the clip, gifted him a literal truckload of the stuff and told him to keep the vehicle. Not a bad offer for a couple of seconds of video content.

The viral moment has also seen 'Dreams' rocket back up the charts.

Unbelievably, 43 years after 'Dreams' was released it's now Number One on the iTunes songs chart and their Greatest Hits album was No. 2 on the albums chart.

'Dreams' has been streamed a whopping 8.47 million times in the US in the last week alone, which beats the previous high of 3.83 million in September. The song returned to the UK charts last week and was sitting at Number 85.

The band's legendary Rumours album reentered the US Top 40 for the first time since 2013 and was sitting at Number 27, while in the UK it was at Number 22.
