Before Pinkus and Qphox . . .

Post by Senor Grommet »

There was Windsen Pan:

Met him at my first Western Regionals in 2000. No idea where he is now though. Enjoy, courtesy of Erik Chan's youtube account.

He hit too many Clipper stuff :P.

Just kidding. Nice to see some Toe To Toe video even though it's so old. Pixie Flurry (actually it was something like Pixie Double Quantum Legover) blew my mind. Sick!

That video was cut short. I wanted more. Very good shred, especially from that long ago.

Thank you for sharing.

And before Windsen Pan there was this guy called Lynton Stephens :P

Here's a little message Windsen sent me when I put those videos of him up:
Windsen Pan wrote: I'm "slowly" starting back up again. It's seriously been years since I kicked so I am basically starting from the ground up. Also ever since my injuries, I've had this major mental block...paranoid about re-injuring myself...so I'm just taking it slowly. I've been mainly drilling clippers and osis lately...though I did hit smog bsos and pixie barrage barefoot the other day =p It had been like 3 or 4 years since hitting those moves so it was a real trip.
This was... two months ago?

Awesome Erik. Thanks for the Lynton classic footage and for the Windsen quote. Good to read he is still in the game.

Lynton's style reminds me of Adam Greenwood's sooo much. Thanks for the clips everyone.

Lynton doesn't play anymore, he retired a while ago now. That said last time I saw him he randomly busted out a tripleATW out-in while we were waiting for pizza.
