Brian Lotti. What happened to him?
« on: August 04, 2008, 09:15:00 PM »
Remember back in the H-Street and Planet Earth days when Lotti was the man? What happened to him and why doesn't he have a board/shoe/wheel with his name on it? He was truly a pioneer.

Stereo put out a guest board for him a couple years back. And, as someone mentioned, the 1st & Hope video
I don't know that he's really "insane" though. Maybe he's just tired.

Dude has a degree and doesn't need to have a board or shoe to be relevant, everyone knows (or should know) what he's contributed to modern street skating.
He can still shred and obviously he still does but he's making films and being artsy now.
I love how he quit skating professionally when he was in his prime with Blind and then moved out here to Hawaii to become a Buddhist, that was some crazy shit that not too many people would consider doing.
Legend status for sure.

^Really? Rad.

Brian Lotti is pretty damn cool, just stepping back from the game, but not from skating entirely. Now its just about the skating itself, not what comes out of it. Makes sense that he is a buddhist.
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

it's great to hear that he's still skating. He definitely influenced a whole generation of skaters. He was way ahead of his time.
