Holy cow. Bill Danforth doing his best Popeye impression at Kristian Svitak’s ramp. I had no idea BIll Was so… old. All those gratuitous pro models must be wearing him down. In all seriousness, I have nothing but respect for Bill, and I bought myself a handful of his Alva decks with the tri-tail. Loved that board. BIll Danforth. Grover knows him from his days in Michigan. Both those guys are hilarious. Hey Kristian and Regulator, you keep making these videos, I’ll keep posting every (other) of of them. Danforth’s got a model on 1031. Midwest uber alles.
UPDATE: Added Bill’s video part from the 1989 video “Young Gunz.”

I’m guessing that Bill didn’t have control over the music they played behind him in that clip. Ugh.

Bill Danforth’s Pro Shops was one incarnation of Surf Ohio/Cow Skates. Needless to say Bill destroyed it on the back bay mini ramp…the original super steep one!
