i guess he works for blackbox now or something.  They had a 'employee best trick contest' and Emmers won by switch backtailing the double set rail (not kinked, but still a big rail over a doubleset).

Imagine the Kayo company golf skate tourney?


I'd actually eat hot dogs at the Blackbox one instead.

manual labor is the worst skate video of all time. Celentani should be shot for creating that nauseating testament to his own idiocy.

Emmers skated to DJ shadow, had tech tricks 10 years ago that I still havent seen done today, and had a good style. He needs to make a comeback

I never understood how a man so tall with such big feet could skate a 7.4" board with so much control.

yeah he was kind of unbearable to skate around. i rolled up to washington one day and he was there trying to nollie backside flip it and was putting on one of the gayest displays of bitching ive ever seen. i still cant hate on him though he was clean as fuck and ahead of his time for sure.

One time way back in the day my friends and I drove  from Minneapolis to Green Bay to skate this little indoor park they had. Being dumb broke teens we were trying to figure out how to avoid paying to skate. One of us, may have even been me, came up with the bright idea of calling the park and saying we were the Nicotine Wheels team (I know) and we were in the area and wanted to check the park. Mind you we all could skate so we thought we would be able to pull this off no problem. Anyways long story short we got there only to see an unknown Brian Emmers completely destroying the park. Needless to say we were slightly shook but dude was cool as hell to us and we ended up skating for free.
