Daniel Espinoza & JB Gillet.




Two for Tuesday.

Daniel is from Fontana, California. He was sponsored by Powell and Adio before getting on Cliché and Lakai. His first board was a Girl Eric Koston. He really dug his iPod in 2007, just like the rest of us. I wish Apple still made a stand alone music player. Sometimes all you want is a piece of technology that does one thing and does it well.

JB is from Lyon, France. He's been in the game for forever, having gotten his start on the New Deal in the mid 1990s. JB has ridden for Lakai and Deca. Primitive currently has a board with his name on it so that marks over 25 in the spotlight. Remember when pros were done after three years?
