The best switch tré I have ever seen with my own eyes was by this dude in Aotea Square in ’98, and on the flat ground. Hate away if you will. York is boss.

E-Clipse
Would be nice if there was more heat of this cat lurking. You may have seen him more recently at a Manny Mania comp in New York, getting involved in some heavy shit. That’s all I’m gwan say. Spencer Fujimoto is another member of my H.B.G. (see last issue if you didn’t get that abbreviation). Anyone who skated in Pumps and pulled it off is good in my books. Let’s see it Kurt Green! Respect to yes, yet another classic.

If you haven’t already seen this then check it. If you have then watch it again. It’s already my new favourite skate vid. I love that this is the intro for many more to come and there is already a few things we didn’t see B.I.T.D. Especially Pupecki’s back 180 fakie 5-0 shuv! I lost my shit when I saw that one. Fuck this series is gonna be good! Menace, it was always and still is how I live my life. Anyone else?
