Over Hwy 17 lives a 6'7" man that has been in the game for many a years, his name... Ron Whaley. So cool catching up with Ron as he sips on a martini and discusses: meeting and skating with Israel Forbes, Scotts Valley life, early days with Strubings and Skate Works, making a video for Spanish class, the legend of Corey Chrysler, skating for SMA, touring with Andy Roy, Jaya Bonderov in "Goin' Off", the Cannery ramp section at NHS, the beginning of Consolidated, Alan Petersen skating Consolidated ramp, Phil Shao in Confusion days, turning pro for SMA, Rob Roskopp team managing Sims, Tim Brauch stories with BMC, getting a Thrasher cover and much more...
Ron is definitely a G, an OG and a triple OG so you know what to do...
