Guru Khalsa.

Black Moth Super Rainbow.

Guru split time growing up between Houston, Texas, and Punjab, India. He was sponsored by Habitat, Elwood, Satori Wheels, Habitat Footwear, and Venture. Guru turned pro in 2010. For his part in Habitat's Origin video, he skated a variety of ledges, hubbas, and ditches while the Black Moth Super Rainbow played. His style is on the mellow side and everything is done smoothly. Guru hit up a lot of long, flat rails in the tradition of Kerry Getz. There's a half cab to 5-0 on handrail, a couple ride on 50-50s, big spins, and nollies. I think he still skates, but not for Habitat. Guru is or was running companies that make soap and incense.

It's going to be a bunch of 2010 stuff for the next few of weeks to get us to the 3,000th post and beyond. I'm only going to do two weeks of the older stuff at the end of December instead of the full month. I wasn't feeling it this year and I've been scanning a lot of 2000s content.
