Charlie Wilkins.



Charlie was one of the four pros for Mike Vallely's Transit. He came over at the start with Mike and Stacy Lowery from Powell. Vert powerhouse Tom Boyle was the other rider. Charlie rode for 5boro after Transit and retired from the professional ranks in 2008. He also rode for Maple, Etnies and Sheep. Along with a bunch of all terrain ripping, Charlie is unfortunately best remembered from his clip in 411 with the oozing blood clot on his leg. Black pus. And I'm not talking about the drummer from Lightning Bolt's solo project either.
