He's one of the names on the list. I need to rewatch their one video from 1994 or 95 over the weekend to prepare for this.
My first sponsor was New School. Mario Rubalcaba saw my sponser me tape and got me on. The boards they sent me were horrible though. I think they were just old Alva boards reshaped. The wood was sooo thick. Someone told me the owner would send the riders defective and old stuff. I rode for them for about six months until the team manager quit and went to Poorhouse. This was right after Josh Swindell quit and went to think. I went with him and got three packages until they went out of business. Thus ending my short skateboarding career.
