We told him to act as if we were not there and to just go about his day as he normally would. Jimmy showed us around his house, made us some food, destroyed us in chess, and let us watch him do some woodworking and frame building. To close things out, he took us to the ramp and started to warm up. We all sat down, shut up and watched as we noted that Jimmy's warm up runs are all made up of shit most people wish they could do in their dreams. Thanks for the revs and the good times, Jimmy!

Over Muddy trails, steep concrete hills, mountains, deserts, beaches. Through any weather- sun, rain, snow, the Trudger will go wherever your heart desires. In the Pacific North West, my friends and I skate for miles and miles from suburbs to cities to find our choice spots, "trudging" the whole way (walking/pushing through it all). I need shoes that protect my feet with padding on the sides, tongue, and toes; shoes that lace up tight if needed and are high enough to protect my ankle from shark bite or sprains. These shoes are comfortable, simple and not flashy. They are warm, durable and most importantly, they skate and flick soooo nice." Tested and Approved by Simon Bannerot

The design was the opposite of the market at that time, yet it had everything a skate shoe needed. It was a simple design with a streamlined silhouette and seamless toe. Minimizing the panels reduced seam blowout which created a more durable skate shoe. A basic concept that still holds true with today’s skateboarding. A nod to the past with modern technology. We are welcoming back two original colorways from their first inception in 2004.
