Wow, I totally forgot about William. I saw him grow as a skater back in the day in Paris (mostly the Bercy spot). You could already see how good he would become when he was younger. He already had so much style and technical chops. On top of that, he was a very nice guy, which was not necessarily the case for most kids who had talent at the time ;-) Anyone knows if he is still skating?
i love watching skateboarding, i was always scared to death to try jump down big stairs and gaps. never went beyond 3, there was a 4 stair i was shitting myself trying it had a nice smooth run up but had a tiny bump on top lip of the stair, and a few dents in the floor on bottom. the locals called it black death 4 the steps were black and you can easily eat shit doing it.
