Mike Rusczyk #5.

Freedom for Saturn.

Mike has a great section in Art Bars. Whatever trick you are looking to see, Mike probably does it. There are big regular and switch ollies over gaps and obstacles. He throws down the tech with hardflips, switch frontside flips, nollie noseslides, and crooked grinds. There are no complies and no comply kickflips to satisfy those who want to see the older roots of street skateboarding. A whole range of terrain is skated, including gaps, rails, ledges, banks, stairs, and even the Derby park. Mike goes fast and strings together interesting lines between stop motion footage of animated Lego people. This part definitely falls into the category of an obscure classic. Rusczyk rips.
