Rocky Hudson Jr.
Skating with Rocky Hudson Jr. usually starts off with a twist and a flat ground session. He carves around tranquil and smooth, popping no-complies and thunderous switch heels. He’s got massive pop—you’ll never see a worm burner out of Rocky. For Rocky, skateboarding is all for the love: The whole experience of going out to film tricks, playing games of skate in empty parking lots and always having a reason for a road trip keeps him pushing. … read more

Electrifying Late-20s Skateboarding: The Bolts of Thunder Story
Bolts of Thunder Gone Wild is an upcoming skateboard video due to premier August 12. This video is a little different than what you would expect to see from most professional and local videos.
