Sean Sheffey #8.



Sean does one of his classic switch kickflips.

Matix was a fancy technical clothing company started by Podium Distribution after DVS had established themselves as a solid player on the skateboard footwear market. The team included Marc Johnson, Rudy Johnson, Rodney Mullen, Daewon Song, Jeron Wilson, Tim Gavin, and J.B. Gillet. (Was The Gav still skating at this point?) The brand lasted for a while until DVS fell apart. I believe an attempt was made resurrect Matix within the last few years, but I'm not sure how that went.

There's a great interview with Don Brown about the history of Etnies up on the Slam City website.

Speaking of interviews, there's a new site called Heck Ride. They've got cool chats with Aaron Meza, Tom Karangelov, and James Hardy.
