Dorian turned pro for Scarecrow. He had a neat part in Pig Wheels' All Systems Go video. He also rode for Hollywood Skateboards, Kris Markovich's company that was backed by Tum Yeto in the early 2000s. Not much else to say about this guy, except that I had one of his boards in 1997 and it was a nice deck.
Hope everybody on the East Coast survived the storm safely.

that was my favorite deck for awhile. i rode so many of them. still have 1. that graphic is so rad.
I remember this thrasher interview where he talks about getting booted from whatever board sponsor for something about a Nintendo controller in somebody's bum and the footage surfaced. Ha explaining that one would be weird. W/e he skates smooth as heck
I think the story was that one of his friends did that and the footage wound up by accident on Dorian's sponsor me video for Planet Earth.
Not 100% sure, but I think Dorian Tucker is the same kid as Joe Tucker from early Zorlac days. 20:00 mark in the Zero Hero video for reference (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh1ktf8k5Iw )
maybe?
You could be right. I remember reading an interview with him where he said Dorian wasn't his real name, but I do not for the life of me recall what he said his name was.
You are 100% correct, that is Dorian a.k.a. Joe Tucker :) Great eye!
