I spy Josh Toy all the way to the right, and I think Ricky Wernicke (sp) second from the left. This was taken before any real modifications were done to scooters.
Just ride a scooter, who gives a crap about the past or future
Because the past got you here in the first place. Where do you think 3/4 of the tricks in the sport came from? There are a lot of riders who never really got the props they should of innovating tricks. Jason Fry made up the fingerwhip, I landed the first whips and bars into manual, also landed the first whip to bar, Chris Daigle stomped the first single and double tailwhip into superman grab, Matt Pate stomped the first scooter fakie, Jarrett landed the first flip and for some fucked up reason he gets hazed for it, Mark Atkins and Dereck Beckering were the first riders to boost quarters and mini ramps, long before Stan or Coedie came around.
There is so much you new riders know nothing about. All you see is bri flips, backflips, and bar to manual tailwhip out. And all the new riders think if you can't do those tricks that you're a joke.
Pretty sad.
Oh and by the way, this was the Pro Model photoshoot back in 2002 or 2003. Back at Hollywood Sports before they tore out the skatepark.
In order from right to left:
Mark Atkins
Ricky Wernicke
Chris Daigle
Jarrett Ried

Haha, yep, the modified suspension fork, turned into a double armed. Set the front end higher than a regular rigid fork. I loved those forks. Just sucked that if you had real hard landing or bailed the scooter onto your fork, the back end was too thin of metal to take the impact, and would bend. So you kinda had to be careful. But this was when B models were nearly impossible to come by, even for Team Razor. So I made due with what I had. No SR, French ID or RAD forks back then, haha.Brian Boston said:
