Remy Stratton #13.

"Remy's neighborhood consists of only six different styles of houses. Each house is basically the same, except some face different directions. For added spice: Beaver Cleaver could definitely live on Remy's street. It's most likely that kids from Remy's neighborhood grew up pretty ordinary, coming from one of the six housing styles. The surprising thing about Remy is that he is far from ordinary. He lives in the garage, and lives to skateboard. He is accompanied by his wide variety of music, a vintage motorcycle, strange clothes, and a broken rifle with a flower peering out of the barrel. The people that planned out Remy's neighborhood probably never imagined that a kid with so much character, confidence, and style would emerge." - Max Schaaf

Remy was born in Fort Belvoir, Virginia and then his family moved to the Los Alamitos area of Southern California. He used to play soccer as a kid, but quit once he got to high school to stick with skateboarding. Remy was briefly sponsored by Blockhead, Skull Skates, and Madrid before getting on G & S. He turned pro for the Ampersand and then left for Acme, Jim Gray's new company, in 1991. He gradually faded from the pro side of things and moved over to the industry side of things to work at Volcom. Remy still works at Volcom and his name pops up every so often in the mags or online.
