the cbi team manager roundtable, for closer #9


"It'll Buff Out."

Something a little different for Closer Skateboarding, Issue #9...

An idea I'd been kicking around for quite some time now, I sat down with legendary team managers Sam Smyth (Crailtap), Brennan Conroy (Alien/Habitat) and Mike Sinclar (Toy/Fallen/Nike) to found out all there is to know about skateboarding's most intriguing gig.

Who's the smelliest dude in the squad?
What's your sketchiest experience on the road?
Who's your most regrettable sponsor-me tape rejection?
...and so much more. 

Probably the most fun I've ever had doing one of these.

Thanks to everyone involved for making this happen.
