Nick Dompierre.



"In our area you don't really think about people being pro skaters, 'cause it's such a hard place to grow up. Nick had a rough upbringing; pretty typical of New Bedford, Massachusetts. But he started making it, and he started taking care of people around him. I think all the responsibility kind of made him like an old man, too. You know how your dad is always pissed off? So even though he's 22, 23, he's got the mentality of an old man - he works on cars, he's wicked quiet. But he's a big giver, too. He definitely looks out for his friends and family." - Craig Paiva

I feel Nick provided the blueprint for how a guy like Kyle Walker skates today.

I liked the part Kevin Braun just released for OJ Wheels. It was a nice blend of tricks.
