Dr. "Slomo" - San Diego


Former shrink-neurologist turned full-time boardwalk skatebum.
He has a cool, medical - spiritual explanation as to why humans crave constant acceleration - maybe one of you down there could introduce him to power kiting!

Nice video, lad, thanks for posting. I guess that's why powerslides are so much fun to do!(acceleration) I don't think he'd even consider using a kite, though. His simplistic philosophy just doesn't require it.
