Really good flick, really good pop. The huge headphones were a bit goofy, but you've gotta cut the guy a bit of slack since this video is from 2005. Thought of him because of my thread about the Hollywood High fs flip in Photo / Video

This guy was awesome. I first heard of him from the Ams bonus feature on the Globe Opinion DVD (the same one that features really early Ramondetta clips). I think he faded away because he had some sort of gnarly leg injury, like a broken leg that was a clean break?

Yep, the Thrasher article had a photo of him icing his pretty bad looking ankle. And I don't think he was heard from again since that.

When I was younger living in WA, his parents were my neighbors and knew I skated. One day they gave me a manila envelope full of stickers and whatnot from his sponsors. Cool story bro. ;D

Did ya find out what he is up to nowadays? Or did your family/his family move away. Hope he is well!

He married a friend of mine and lived in Louisiana for a bit.  Haven't heard that name in at least a decade though.
