“Nowdays once skateboard truck connoisseur, and fruit juice enthusiast, Donald Mckechnie makes star wars figures for the comic book guy on a shoestring budget and lives a humble life helping out with his dad’s business. Back in the day he manhandled Christchurch skatespots like no other. In an era with no YouTube, or even ready access to skate vids, Donald picked up tricks just as fast as they could be invented, doing them solid with style as can be seen here with this frontside 50-50 down a short, high, round and kinked rail in early 1992.” Garage.
