Yeah, that was really good. I met him years ago down in Northridge and he was really nice. It'd be cool to see some more footage of him.

Unfortunately, I think this is another case a really good skater being "unmarketable." His tricks were definitely good, but like some of you said, his style is kind of hard on the eyes. Also, Arcade turned him pro super fast with barely any coverage and I think that could have hurt him in the eyes of other companies after Arcade shutdown. I skated with him during a few of the tricks in that part and he usually landed his shit pretty quick and he was a pretty nice guy. I could see him being bummed on the whole industry after turning pro, filming this part and then not being picked up by someone after Arcade was over with.

He still shreds by the way. Last year or so he visited our common buddy in SF and switch backside flipped the 3rd and Army gap and half-cab backside nosegrinded that round rail in SF, in a line...dunno the name. Got the footie somewhere...I think he didnt like all the hubbub in the skate industry and figured he'd just work and not have to worry about it.

Maybe I am watching a different part, but I thought it was good. He had a good style, like a lot of guys that skate that kind of street. Anyone who thinks they can do a better part please post it.

Not feelin his style too much, but the dude is good. Saw him a few years ago at the park by my house in San Diego, dude was tearing shit up. Real quiet guy.
