I have k2backyards(back yard bobs) right now, The best grinds I can do are a soul, royal, front/back side, A soul transferd to a front side then to a reversed soul but in the back words motion. My friend Josh is porbley one of my best friends but he was also in the '92 X games on ESPN/ESPN2 one of them, and he also has Chicago agx's. Drake is just one of those friends who are just there. He has the same skates as me K2 backyards he also skate boards. Aaron is my boy he is probley the only one of my friends beside josh Jr. who is not scared to brake his neck while skating. An Jr. is also a friend who skates but he onley like to do high and long jumps he dosent like to grind he also plays hockey and he bmx with a schwin, I would say that Jr. takes more pain then all of us put together at times we dont even think he feels pain. | ||||||||||||||||
