Sal Barbier #9.


Eppic.

You sort of don't know much about Sal as he seldom had interviews and moved over to the industry side of skateboarding, but at the same time, it feels like you know who he is. He's from Louisiana and was a big part of H-Street before riding for Plan B. He would later start Twenty Three Skateboards which led to Aesthetics. Sal had an iconic pro model shoe on Etnies and éS, which further adds to his legacy. He always comes off in interviews as caring about skateboarding while not being afraid to say if something is wack or crack a joke about things. I think that's what makes him relatable and a favorite.
