4Q.
Vert dog, dog owner, motorcycle builder, and occasional street skater Max Schaaf has been pro for Real for almost 30 years now. His ramp skating parallels street skateboarding with how he pops out of lip tricks. He also was an early practitioner of doing kickflips on vert. There's no need to ever fast forward through one of his video parts. He's always been a favorite of mine since the first Real video.
Here's a bonus picture of Max by Grant Brittain. It was on the back of a poster for the 1995 Vans Hard Rock Cafe World Championship of Skateboarding. The contest was held on October 1st in Newport Beach.
