Davis Torgerson.

Boondoggle.

Davis is from Wayzata, Minnesota. He was pro for Real before moving onto the industry side of skateboarding. His footwear sponsorship history included Etnies, DC, and New Balance. Davis currently works for Asics as a team manager. He lives in Los Angeles now, but still roots for the Vikings.

I figured I'd wrap up this brief look at Minnesota skateboarding with one of the newer guys, even though at this point newer was well over a decade ago. Davis did cite the crew on Iota as an influence on his skating. If you'd like some more current Land of a Thousand Lakes four wheel action, Dan Rusin is always making videos that are very much worth checking out.

Vert Is Dead will be back on Tuesday, June 25th.

I'm off on Monday off to take my mom to a doctor's appointment. She's been doing well since her operation in April.

I've been plugging away at scanning the three issues of Poweredge I borrowed from the Look Back Library. My plan was to scan everything before posting stuff. I'm still going to scan everything, but I decided to post some hammers for next week. Or rather what I think are hammers.
