If you don't know about him, you should.  This is a story about a guy who puts everything he has into everything he does.  He goes one speed in life and it’s really f##king fast.  All Hail Cardiel!!!

The part where they discuss how John is still getting boards made with his name on it - going on over 14years... I just want to say to John is that if anything you deserve to have a board as long as Antihero exists. Your skating has influenced so many of us from how you tweek your back hand to how high you blasts your airs..... Your place in skateboarding is safe and can never be taken away from you......
