santa cruz makes you sign a 40 year contract.

Damn, I wonder where this guy is. How does someone go from getting awesome footage all the way in China to dropping completely off the radar? I seriously hope he does comeback. It'll probably happen before 48 blocks releases the Pappalardo interview.

Holy shit. I hadn't seen those last two clips before. Seriously proper shit. Flick is incredible.

not to sound like an idiot comparing the two, but he's pretty much the canadian lucas puig who isn't around anymore

Super good skater, amazing actually.
Always wondered what happened to him. After his Santa Cruz gig he just vanished.

When North came out I was amazed by this guy. Never had bad footage but seemed stuck on companies that never did much.

What about Chase Homely?

Skating isn't really the most stable career path. He's probably back in Canada. If he doesn't have a major sponsor backing his work visa renewals, it would be hard for him to continue to live in the states/CA getting industry coverage.

Last i heard he was doing landscaping in SF. Still see his brother from time to time randomly here on the island. Plus theres no coming back from skating to Coldplay.

His pop was impeccable, to this day I still can't comprehend how you switch backside flip a jersey barrier from flat. He was always a super quiet dude that did his own thing I think he just didn't wanna skate anymore... it happens to some people believe it or not, I'd imagine he's at home playing video games as I type this.

Damn i could easily see this guy on Habitat replacing the milking it master Tim O Connor.... I could see him on Think too.

I would have thought the same thing and even back when I first saw this part I was thinking this wasn't going to work at all but fuck that shit to me it totally works and Coldplay is terrible.
There are tons of great video parts edited to wack songs but this is one of the best of those ever.

i love this guys skating. his old sponsors are all fucktards because if any of them would have made them pro i would have bought his board a lot probably. it's a waste that a guy like this who's so productive and talented just disappears. imagine this dude and danny renaud back on habitat and i'm already masturbating thinking about a video like that.

polyethylene · « **Reply #21 on:** December 27, 2012, 01:08:56 PM »

fuck santa cruz

Ted lives outside of San Francisco with his girlfriend/wife and plays guitar.
He's living his life, there won't be a comeback.

He should have been on Girl after his North part came out, but when he flew to California to skate with them he rubbed them the wrong way or something. A similar thing happened with Alien Workshop. He openly talked in a Transworld interview about how his Mosiac footage was garbage and he didn't want it to be put out.

To be pro you need to be a pro level skateboarder but you also need to 'play the game', and Ted is no one's bitch.

Dude could inward heelflip when he was 8 years old... he lived and breathed skateboarding most of his life then... stopped. A few years ago he apparently ran into Russ Milligan and asked about getting on Think! then confessed he hadn't been skating in 6 months. Can't say for sure what happened but I suspect getting married had much to do with it.

Aatila · « **Reply #24 on:** December 27, 2012, 02:02:35 PM »

dude skated to a sea and cake song. Nuff said.

Amongst many other insane moves, that nollie front kick over the yellow tape is fucked up.
Who does nollie frontside 360 heels over shit?

He doesn't skate for anyone anymore and he Studys rocks and plants for a living in Canada
