Cheeks! That's my dude! Years ago, before he rode for anyone, I tried to get him on New School! haha I was buddies with the team manager at the time and I told him that I had a friend that was really good and that I think they should pick him up. I think they sent me some stuff to give him and if I'm not mistaken (although I could be wrong) there was some footage of his sponsor me tape posted somewhere and the board he's riding when he did that backside 360 down the 7 at Embarcadero was the board I gave him. The New School thing never panned out and obviously he went on to bigger and better things. But damn if it wasn't apparent that he had something special. One of the smoothest to ever grace a skateboard.
Sick interview. Never seen that one. There's a pic somewhere of his stomach with all the staples in it. Nicaraguan style surgery. harsh. I saw Chico around a lot at the first Slam City. Super nice guy. For whatever reason, he was always peeing in the streets.
