Chris Ward certainly needs no introduction on this blog, but this trailer for …Lost Ent. latest video venture goes a long way to set up a new web series devoted to their most enigmatic team rider. Wardo’s misadventures have been well-documented over the years in hilarious …Lost classics like “What’s Going Wrong?” and “Where’s Wardo?” but with this new series let’s hope we’ll be introduced to a whole new level of insight into Ward’s infamous antics.
