Most rubbish skater to ever get a shoe

YEah could have been.

Edit: just checked - yeah you’re right that’s exactly what I was thinking of…the Mountain edition. Nothing to do with Lance then haha!

DVS did an Ozzy Osborne slipper. I bet he’s rubbish at skating.

Then Supra made their own version for Jim Grecos pro shoe

That Ozzy shoe jogged the memory - DVS also made a Juliette Lewis shoe. Probably down to her and Berra being an item for a bit I suppose.

They were married, no? She used to go on the tours with the team.

Might be showing my ignorance here. But always thought Matt Field was overrated and he had a pro shoe on Ipath.

Nollie flipping into bowls with the worst technique imaginable.

Yeah, not the most gifted skater but he certainly had a unique flavour which counts towards something.

Also noseslide nollie flip.

Why I know that I do not know

That was so horrible. The way he kicks down with his back foot.

Wonder how many shoes he sold.

He’d be lucky to sell a complete pair

Adam Alfaro had a pro shoe on Duffs and Chad Fernandez had a shoe on Globe. Theyve got to be up there

Just re-watched the Gagne Blackout part and the pool nollie flip is not as bad as I remember…it’s the nollie flip he does off a kicker a little later on that’s the true stinker.

there’s a fair bit of stinky nollie flipping in this progression vm part. The kicker clip makes a cameo (nice recycling of footage) but also there’s a dubious switch flip in the beginning to kick it all off.

I don’t remember any of these video parts, perhaps I skipped through them, but I do remember being bothered by the sequence of the noseslide flip out at the end - I think it may have been a black label ad - as one (maybe two?) of the frames showed his leg just going straight down on the flip out.

Might be this one from Label Kills? Dude also had a reeking tre flip.

Also, he seems full of himself. Like deluded rock star levels of mugging to the camera. Someone should find where he is now.

Omg please give me some Penny as a cleanse.

Can’t believe I watched that.

Jesus, noseslide nollie flip in that Progression VM part was down the California St. hubba in SF.
