Notable:
Franky is the XG VII bronze medalist who has had a few set backs in 2002. With inconsistent comp results and foot surgery mid-season, XG VIII will present a challenge in order to hold onto his medal position. He has a freestyle squatting approach to his grinds and spins, reminiscent of style masters Jon Julio and Louie Zamora. His style of dressing stems from the Hip Hop fashion. His dred locks, gold teeth and the way he wears his pants fastened below his butt, which shows off his boxers, is unique among AIL pros.

Commenting on his competition results, "I don't think it's about the end result. As corny as it sounds, it's how you play the game. If I have fun at it, then I've won."
