Someone post his dying to live part. For some reason it doesn't seem to be on youtube.

Post by: Lurkenstock on June 24, 2008, 05:31:55 PM
Easily the best dude on Zero, so much fun to watch.
Destroys every terrain and dude is super smart and seems like a nice guy.
I really dug him more on Blueprint though.

Rattray is my favourite skateboarder. I wish he was still on Blueprint though.

I watched his feed the need part yesterday, he kills everything. Stu Gram and him should do a shared part in something. I want to see stu do another handrail, it's like an elephant on a mini bike, but awesomer.

Shit. I saw his ten tricks for the first time. Rattray is definitely one of the best dudes in skateboarding.

This is why a skateboard part is 10.000 times
sicker when shit aint planned in advance.

And yes, a person (whom is not a sucker) should still be able
to recognize that he is a better skateboarder then Tony Hawk,
the whole plan B team, and virtually everyone thats ever been
in a digital movie. Just from by watching this. Soty.

He had my favorite part in New Blood and one of my favorites in Feed the Need. Really like this guy. That new ad is crazy too.
Title: Re: John Rattray Appreciation

I'd say he's had the best part in just about every video he's been in

My favorite zero skater (even thought I hate zero). He rips with so much flow.

Every part he does is gold and seems like a really solid dude.
