Profile: Ah, where to start? Whatever is said about this guy will be sure to have its share of people who want to add their 2 cents worth. I guess i'll go with what I think and let everyone else draw their own conclusions. Love him or hate him, you got to admire the Featch for what he has achieved in such a short amount of time. At the end of the day I can't think of many other skaters who in under 3 years have gone from being a little grommie skating at Martin Place every weekend with his homies, to having a Transworld video part and flying all over the world skating with the pro skaters he looked up to just a short time ago. He also managed to bust out 2 Death parts which quickly appeared on YouTube and got more hits than Dibble on a 2 month roadtrip. His different take on skateboarding has certainly caused a stir, some say he is a breath of fresh air for his innovation, at a time when skateboarding can be getting a bit stale. Some people don't agree but I dont think it fazes him, he just feeds off it all regardless. To quote Oscar Wilde, "the only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about". I'm pretty sure people will be talking about him still for the forseeable future.

And don't get me started on his getup!
