You know what, I didnt even pay attention. I just bought a Welcome skateboard, and I just expected that he rode for them. On a quick google it was the Nike part [LINK] But thanks for the heads up about Birdhouse [VIDEO] ill watch that now. Edit: Birdhouse is great, but Nike one is insane.

It is hard to explain but the best way to put it is that he is one of the most powerful and creative POOL skaters I have ever had the pleasure to ride with. He finds lines that you would never dream of and pushes through shit that looks impossible. I put Pedro and Ben in a tight amoeba pool and my guess is that Ben would win and I love both of them. He doesn't come off so well in your average run of the mill park but if you give him something crazy he will make it his own. His video parts haven't been the most inspiring in the world but his Birdhouse welcome video [VIDEO] is pretty sick and the footage I have seen of his in the new Bones video coming out soon is pretty off the charts.
