The First Ever Viral Skateboarding Video Global Phenomenon | PJ LaddSigned PJ Ladd Boards available at storiedskateboarding .com !!!

He claims that when Jason Dill first saw it, he compared the impact to Plan B ‘Questionable.’ Regardless of WHY it took off, skateboarding was never the same again. At the time, legendary videos such as Flip ‘Sorry’, Zero ‘Dying To Live’ and Shorty’s ‘Guilty’ featuring iconic pros Chad Muska, Jamie Thomas, Arto Saari & Geoff Rowley were at the top of the charts, not
