Post by: Cheapboarder on April 29, 2009, 07:07:05 AM: I kinda hope he would get off girl. Not enough hype for him.

A great skateboarder.

eSpecial part hypes me up. That flat ground heelflip was too nice.

Post by: scorpion1001 on April 29, 2009, 07:24:26 AM: i really wouldn't expect him to leave girl. howard and him are great friends and i'm sure rick would probably retire if girl was to go under or drop him.

REALLY? i figured you'd be into rick's style. if you like rick howard, how can you not like crankers? they have very similar styles, except mccrank is more well rounded. you really don't get into his skating?

The Abandoned series is a solid watch too, they're all up on YouTube for free. Route 66 ep. with Frank Gerwer is the best!
