Ever since Winona Riders, I've been stoked on Willy's skating. He was such a fixture throughout the 90's in TWS and 411.
I still have all the krooked wall hanger boards I bought from Willy's Workshop while stationed in San Diego. I actually made it a point to go search his shop out even though there were other closer shops.
The clincher was when I was skating Poway one night and as I landed a pretty lengthy nollie back tail on one of the ledges, I hear some dude clapping and I looked up to see it was Willy. Fucking rad.
As a fellow pinoy, I'm stoked he reps the PI. As a military veteran, I was stoked to hear his dad was in the military, too.
Nothing but love for this guy.
