Notable:
John Parker has been with X since since 1995. He's been pro for eight years and making the Final in nearly every event he's entered. John is also a writer for industry magazines and websites. He's an event organizer for the Mobile Skatepark Series and he'll be on the Tony Hawk Boom Boom Huck Jam Tour. He's not your average vert jock. Parker pays his own way to contests.

Quote:
"This has been a good year for me. I think one of the biggest reasons is I haven't been stressed about any of the contests at all. There are so many things going on in my life... My whole life, my whole career, doesn't depend on one contest. So I'm pretty psyched, things are mellower."
