the photos from Venice in the old thrashers were
so strong. the ramp to the wall days down at the beach
must have been intense. dressen,oster,and j.adams.
we would get "fingers" sightings up here in the city every
once in a while when him in julien would be raging around.
he came and skated jakes ramp and it was insane how
from the moment he dropped in to the moment he was off the
board it was all or nothing.... no cruising. he seemed to put
as much energy into one frontside grind as most put into the
whole session.
