I first met Mikey Burton when he came to live in Sacramento for the summer. We loved giving him a hard time. One time we told everyone in town that he was the skater “Death Wish” and it bummed him out so bad. Another time I was mixing bondo with gloves on and greeted him with a handful of a bondo handshake. No matter how bummed Mikey got though, he was always killing it. I got to witness one of the gnarliest tricks I’ve ever seen done, which we used in Hallelujah (ollie over barrier to flat). He went to a spot that tons have been to and shut it down (landing it twice). That was the one day I couldn’t give Mikey a hard time.—Chris Ray Song: Bitter Sweet - Dirty Laundry
