Lee Smith.



International man of mystery.

Lee is from Oakland, lived in Detroit, and then moved back to San Francisco. He went to school with Karl Watson and they started going to EMB to skateboard during the heyday of the plaza. Mark Gonzales liked the way Lee skated and added him to the ATM Click team. He would go on to ride for Menace and the future versions of the company. After City Stars ended, Lee spent some time living in Barcelona, Spain. He's ridden for Santa Cruz and Lakai along with working at Girl and HUF. I don't really know too much about Lee and there's not exactly a ton of info on him out there.

I forgot to post this. I swear he maybe had a Heads interview in Thrasher, but nothing turned up.
