He skated switch the ENTIRE time. never once a regular push or anything... except when he transferred over the fence out of the park off the 6 foot quarter pipe.

I had his collage graphic and held it up and (a bit intimidated) was like, “hey Sean!” Dude just came over and sat next to me and talked to me like it was no big thing -he was such a nice guy. After a minute, he just got up and did the most perfect half cab late shove-it off the side of a wedge ramp first try.

Just the best thing on the internet in my opinion. <br /><br />In these days of instant-content-overload a well produced Longform interview is pure gold. Total respect for constantly setting the standard so high - these things take a ton of work I'm sure. <br /><br />Nothing better than setting aside 30 mins for a deep dive into skateboard culture and history told by those who made it. <br /><br />Keep up the good work.

The switch tre at the end of Virtual is so perfect. Cool you brought that up. <br /><br />Most of my Girl boards were Sheffey boards. I can't believe how skinny that shit was back then. 7.5 haha.<br /><br />Super nice dude too. He's liked and commented on my scratch videos on instagram. <br /><br />I was stoked to hear he was back on Plan B. To me the best shit ever was the Virtual Reality crew. 4 out of 8 ain't bad.

He was absolutely incredible back then - pretty much just as powerful as you see in Soldier's Story. It was hard to believe that he was only like 16!<br /><br />I'm glad you brought up the technical skating possibly being at odds with such a powerful style. I always felt that as great as he was all around, it's kinda too bad that the small wheel/tech dominance detoured the direction he was going.

In 99 in my country (Portugal) i got to be the lucky guy taking Sean, Keenan, York, Castillo and Skin Phillips (Chico was sent back to LA because he didn´t had a visa to get in Portugal) to a couple demos and spots for a week. In one of the last days coming from a spot in a town 40 min south of Lisbon, Sheff grab the van steering wheel while i was driving going 100 kph and stars shaking it almost killing us all. Thank god keenan scream at him and he stoped hehehe.<br />Great to see him doing good!!!i_love_patinarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283756412062520360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969196656166890081.post-20085201575792199332021-03-09T07:24:09.980-08:002021-03-09T07:24:09.980-08:00Nothing but love for Sheff.

He would show up to spots once in a while, skate them better switch than anyone could their normal stance and keep it moving. I ended up giving him a couple rides after sessions. Stills highlight to think back that one of my early heroes ended remembering my name from a couple sessions. He is a good dude and I am glad he found his footing.
