how do you get hooked up with all these companies? do you just rape them into submission with emails or what?

s34n, LF I was in there shop and we were talking about it and they told me to send a resume and I did and then next time I was in the shop they signed me...

Ex TEN-80 rider joshua steele put in the good word for me with ten-80 and when I contacted them they signed me...

a lady came up to me after a comp and gave me a pair of sunglasses and asked for my e-mail and sent me a contract..

Flatwater Boats is a friend that I ride with alot and he owns a dealer ship and I demo ride for him

I see. well thats not nearly as bad as what people are thinking happened. I got the impression you were pretty much begging companies for shizzle. its quite the contrary i guess

s34n, yeah dude people jack EvanPark, around about his sponsors, but I think he's pretty legit on that.

ButterBen, Was correct. I love digging through the archives and seeing lots of guys early days as well as of the sport in general.

Now he's all grown up and still killing it in Nikes.

He was right--this photo WILL haunt him forever! Wink

Can't tell if this picture is recent or not, guess not much has changed. Laughing

where is Joshua Steele? I still remember that wake to wake kickflip he did, so legit.

Wow, these were the days...

God does exist. It's no coincidence that a guy named 'SEAMAN' has such an affinity for the man of Steele. Do yourself a favor and search for 'juicy booty' and 'shin guards'.

I don't know what I'm more stoked on, Nick's shoes or seeing a Barry Vaught photo.

Juicy booty was a fake screen name of his. He conversed with himself on here. Laughing

I give Parky a lot of credit. He was pretty young back then and took a LOT of ethuggin' on here. He was pretty funny. Also "custom LF" changed my life on this website.

I don't know where josh is!

Parky was definitely an interesting youngster but grew up into a really great person. I wish him the best in his pursuits!
