I want to see him on any other company, one of the only people on Santa Cruz I care to watch at all...

I guess Strubing skates for them to but for real Sid should move over to foundation or maybe real, that'd be tight.

How are you gonna claim there's no one good on SC. Guzman, Curtis, Strubing, Melvin all fucking kill it. They got a sick team. Plus that company has so much history. It seems to me like they're getting there team firing on all cylinders.

Eman is hands down one of my favorites. Always steady getting coverage. Putting out super sick video parts/photos. It blows me away how people sleep so hard on this dude.

SC needs to fix their art direction, stat. Shit stalled out around the time Ammo came out and they've been blowing it ever since. Team is sick, though.

About fucking time. Could someone please explain why the guy didn't turn pro years ago?

He is amazing on a board, good style, can skate everything, has a good attitude and gets some pretty decent and consistent coverage (and has for some time now).

Why would Santa Cruz sit on him for so long? As much as I respect their riders (Eman, Strubs, Mikey Curtis)  and their history in the industry, its not like SC boards are flying on the shelves.

I actually saw Mikey Curtis skate at the park today... I gotta say, I'm not a fan. Something about him kinda rubs me the wrong way. Guzman, on the other hand, fucking shreds. Dude is a straight ripper.

That said, Santa Cruz kinda sucks, and I'm from Santa Cruz. Everyone here rides Creature.

I'm stoked on the dude. I might go as far as to buy one of his boards if the graphics don't suck and it's big enough.

Word. Dude has been around for awhile and everything he puts out is tight. Turning him pro would definitely up sales for them, they did the same for Nestor. He skated for them as long as I can remember, let's hope Enjoi turn him pro soon.
