Lucas Puig #5.



"I actually grew up on the 411 Best Of 4 (1997). I got it with a Tricks (former French magazine). That was really the VHS tape all the kids I knew had at that point. It had Andrew Reynolds, Marc Johnson, Jay "SAD" Stephens - it was legend style. SAD with the little towel. Legend. I actually was at Hooters once with Jason Rogers and Joey Brezinski recently and they were saying like, 'Hey, SAD is gonna come through.' I was just like, 'SAD who? SAD from 411?' Sure enough, there was SAD, looking exactly the same. He starts telling me he's into my skating. The whole time I was fanning out."

I'm not sure which is more epic. This story or the switch kickflip.

The picture is by Dave Chami.

SAD does some nice cooking demos in his IG feed.

8x32 or 8.1x32.1 - oh the choices!

I'd be good with either of those sizes. Either nobody knows how to use a ruler or skateboards are getting shorter these days. I'm not liking it.
