"For skateboarding, I think that people should practice and respect all forms of skating. Because you know how there's little trends of skateboarding. Like for the past couple years, it's been handrails and crazy street stuff. And now all of a sudden it's cool to skate pools and everything. It's all cool, you know? There's never any one kind of skating that's cooler than the other."
Ben is an all around ripper who has been shredding transitions, parks, and streets for a long time now. He's one of those underground favorites who you are stoked to see a new part from whenever it pops up. Blood Wizard has been making boards with his name on them for the last few years. He had a Big Brother cover at this same secret Phillie ramp.
