It was my mates birthday and he had snapped his brand new board so Rattray took his trucks off his board and gave it to my mate, it wasn't even that old. Legend.

Post by: Galletly on May 19, 2012, 07:39:29 AM: I like that he's putting effort into these. Most guys begrudgingly truck out a "pop / catch / land bolts / ride away clean" clip and here's Rattray filling cans with dirt, cracking jokes and inadvertently breaking the most-riverdances-in-60-seconds record while giving a trick tip.

Post by: Schismatic on May 19, 2012, 07:30:01 PM: His last full Blueprint part is an all time classic and he's probably the only Zero rider I pay attention to anymore.

Guys in their 30's who don't party like mad 'cause they have kids and what not don't get full due respect from kids these days. Pretty sure that's why I'm not pro.

Either that or the guy doesn't really put out any footage for kids to get hyped on him. I would welcome a new rattray part with open arms
