What happened to Johnee Kopp?
« on: July 14, 2018, 09:42:26 AM »
  One of the first dudes to do a handrail, was at many of the 80's contests, and seems nowhere to be found on the interwebs. Anyone know whats up with him?

He got the first photo, maybe he got the idea from Kop.
Edit. His Chrome Ball interview gives credit to Chris Cook for inspiration.

He had a strange interview in an Oahu-based website where he talked about underage girls. That's the last I heard of him.

His run in street style in Tempe was sick. I know he was kind of a kook even back then

I know he was a tennis coach for a little while, and he had back problems from skating jump ramps, I'm guessing that's why his pro career ended kinda quickly.

He got kooked for puting a caveman boardslide down a handrail in a mag right when Gonz and Natas were pioneering rail skating and hadn't put any shots out yet.
