James Qua.


Marionette.

James is from Los Angeles, California. He rode for the Firm and turned pro for 60/40. Airwalk provided him with kicks. Some of his favorite skaters include Gino Perez, Mark Gonzales, Lance Mountain, Ron Chatman, Jeremy Klein, and Matt Hensley. James was studying computer science at college and drove a Honda Civic with chrome rims back in the 1990s. His first job was in an aquarium store. He had a part in 60/40's Glasses for Your Feet video from 1995 that featured a lot of street tech lines around LA with some big ollies over bars and fences.

The Lance puppet reminds me of a board Roman Gonzalez had for Polar a couple years ago.
