Pre-Tim Pool or Post-Tim Pool, this dude isn't on my radar. I saw his interview with the Berrics a long time ago and I don't imagine much has changed since then.
I'll bet a dollar I can summarize his Nine Club interview without seeing it:
"I had a really stupid nickname, I was made fun of because of this nickname, I do lots of triple flips, people didn't take me seriously, I sort of showed them because I'm still here skating in LA, but not really cause I still don't have a single legit sponsor. You gotta do your own thing and not let others get you down."
I suppose he deserves credit for hanging on after being dismissed by basically everyone due his bad style and poor trick selection, but if that is the case, I suppose Aaron Kyro deserves credit for hanging on as well

Note: I thought Jason Ellis was Pine when the Booners thread started. I had no idea this dude lurked SLAP.
