Hitman: How does the average day in the life of Henry G go?

Switch Heelflip. Sequence by J.Rose
I finally got off my ass to do another write up on a N.W. skater. I told Jeff at Skateboard Northwest that I would do a Tenderfoot story every month. This Turned out to be harder than I thought. Sorry it took so long. Anyway I’ve been skating with Manna pro Scotty Yamamura the last few months. During this time I’ve seen some sick skating. You might have seen Scott at the Sound and Fury contest where he busted a double kickflip mute over the so called “Peanut” Honda Civic.
Lately Scotts been working on a video of the U.D.S. riders and I’m sure you’ll see some insane footage of Scott and the rest of the team some time soon. If you’ve seen Scott skate you know what kind of tricks are in his bag. If you haven’t then all you can do is study these photo’s. All I can say is Scott is fun to skate with and he’ll bust out tricks that will Blow Your Mind !
