I remember he went to the states but didn't know he stayed there!

I flogged him all my old Haro jersey, pants, gloves, peak when I stopped riding....sounds like he made good use of it ;D

He's now the head man for Etnies over in the states...there was a big interview with him in the july 05 issue of Ride Mag...I'll have a dig through and see if I've still got it...
