Good read on Doctor Z.

Always loved his skating, sure hope we don't find out he was an asshole IRL. My first Thrasher magazine he had an AM interview in it and they used a photo of his tweaked out switch crooked grind on a rail.

Really loved his insight about the way drinking affected him. Pretty solid read all around.

I'm probably wrong but he's one of the first few guys I remember doing a lot of switch tricks on bigger rails. Always had a proper flick too.

absolutely. Nobody skates quite like him, especially in the early 2000s. Who else could have both a switch fs 5-0 shove out in the middle of the ledge, nollie back noseblunt line, AND fuckin boneless 180 a 16? Unreal.

Got told this story once that the Zoo team was in a shop watching PJLWHL and PJ’s Part came on. Zered pulled the tape out of the machine and stamped on it.

Everyone was ‘what the?’

Zered replied ‘PJ skates like a bug so I squashed him.’
