He was already working full time as a graphic designer (I think) when they turned him pro. One of the nicest, down to Earth guys you could ever meet. He even turned his board release into a way to raise money for an orphanage he came across during his travels. Big ups to Mike! The sincere, good people need to be celebrated in skateboarding.
I had his board with the baby chick.
he is still rad, and yes, the biggest no-complys ever. awesome guy who got injured and the exact wrong time and never got to shine as bright as he could have. rusczyk is good people.
just setting up my first and probably last ruscyzk foundation board (got it off ebay hell cheap, too) and just thinking this dude needs some appreciation. even though he's outta the game, he always did his own shit and gave foundation that creative edge. best no complies ever, too.here's my favourite part from himthrowaway is also enjoyable

One of my favorites ever. It was always amazing in the few times I'd see him around town, even when he yelled "skater faggots" while passing in his car, which was awesome. He had some mini-ramp footage recently on a local blog deal which I will try to find when I have the time.
In thats life that 9 stair hubba he ollies over is in my home town! Still trips me out!
