Rick Howard #12.
Slipping Into Darkness.
Rick shared a part with Mike Carroll in Mouse. Mike was recovering from some injuries that limited his on board time. Rick does a bunch of fakie 5-0 and noseslide variations to go with a number of frontside pop shove-its. He even hits up a couple of handrails. Also of note in Mouse is Rick's skateboarding in the woods skit. He rides through the leaves and fallen trees in the forest with a little help from some well placed plywood.
I hit my goal of skateboarding at least 200 times on the year today during my lunch break. I went to the park for fifteen windy and kinda crappy minutes. It was cheap, but it counts. I knew I'd get to 200, but I think I was stressing out a little the last couple of days since the weather is looking variable.

Tony Ferguson #4.
Smooth soul stylings.
Tony is from Ottawa, Ontario and headed out west to Vancouver, British Columbia. He was an amateur for Plan B and was part of the crew that defected to form Girl. His part in Mouse features well done tech tricks, like backside tailslides, nose grinds, and fakie 5-0 grinds. There are a few nollie flips thrown in for good measure.

Gino Iannucci #5.
New York Islander.
Gino is from Long Island, New York. He was pro for Black Label and 101 before being added to Chocolate. He had shared a part in Mouse with the late Keenan Milton. He had about two tricks in the minute long section. I think he would have just gotten on Chocolate around this time after putting out a part in World Industries' Trilogy video that was a better showcase of his talents. Again this speaks to the brevity of videos back in the 1990s, free from slow motion, second angles, and lifestyle shots.

Richard Mulder.
Nautilus.
Richard is from Rialto, California. He rode for Foundation and World Industries before being asked to join Chocolate. His part in Mouse featured a lot of long lines done at ledge spots with a good balance of switch and regular tricks.
