Chima Ferguson #2.
Simple elegance.
Chima has become a favorite of mine over the years. His trick selections are great and his manner of doing those tricks is spot on. His interviews are a worthy read, too.

Alex "Trainwreck" Gall #3.
Anybody remember Young Guns? Because I sure don't.
Alex must have ridden for them after Zero. Was the company maybe distributed by Syndrome?
I'm clearing off old stuff that's been sitting on my computer for ages for the month of April. It's going to get kind of random over the next few weeks.

Daewon Song #7.
Historical artifact.
Artafact was a very short lived company out of Dwindle that happened after Deca and before Almost.
The photo is by Socrates Leal.

Andy Roy & Sean Young #2.
Brain Surgery Specialists.
Sean puts down a sick backside Smith grind while Andy does an upper decker nose blunt to yank in. He had been riding for Consolidated prior to switching to Anti-Hero.
The video of the Fallen team at the Transworld park is a fun little clip. There's even a Billy Marks sighting.
Fun bit of trivia: The February 1997 Anti-Hero ad was also a split with Andy and Sean.

Sean Young #4.
Red ply board? Craziness. I believe the story was that a couple of guys in the Anti-Hero circle had gotten hurt riding boards with a red top ply so they quit riding red boards. I've never liked the color red very much so I adopted this philosophy as well.
Sean started skateboarding in Enterprise, Alabama. He moved up to New Hampshire for a few years and then back down south to the Atlanta area. Sean later headed out to San Francisco with Jamie Thomas and Hurley. Legend has it those dudes were sleeping on the bricks at EMB. He turned pro for Anti-Hero and then faded into the ether.
Rest in peace, Jeff.
