Jon Allie #2.

"I liked Ben Horton's art a lot. And when your board's got a sick graphic, you're stoked to skate. Like when you're a little kid and you've got a sick graphic, it feels good to get a trick on it. It was fun to start something new, too, with a really tight team."

Jon explains the reasons he made the ever popular in-house sponsor swap of switching from Zero to $lave. This crooked grind was in his part in Radio-Television. Jon expanded his trick palette for the video and included actual lines to go with the handrail hammers. He also busted out a few different and unique rail tricks to go with some breakneck automobile driving.

I got the new Thrasher. I have no clue who Martino Cattaneo is, but he shouts out to Oli Buergin twice in his Five Greats article so that's cool.

Congrats to Una Farrar on going pro.
