Taylor Smith.


As always, it's not a Foundation week without somebody you've never heard of. Taylor is from Encinitas. He started off skating vert and was even on Termite before moving to Carlsbad. Once in Carlsbad, he started focusing more on street skating. Taylor was getting boards from Plan B until he started riding for Foundation in 2011. Vans was his shoe sponsor. His favorite skater is John Cardiel. For tunes, he likes Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. I think Taylor did turn pro for Foundation and is friends with Riley Hawk's Shep Dawgs crew. This backside lipslide was in Foundation's WTF video from 2011. He's got a solid part of assorted handrails and gaps set to Sonic Youth.
