Skateboarding Monday: William Spencer profile (My Idol skateboarder)

I thought it'd be cool to cover someone who really isn't well know as a skateboarder but definitely deserves to be. His name is William Spencer and somebody I greatly admire in the skateboarding world. He doesn't necessarily have a specific style and it's what makes him unique. He uses a lot of parkour and free-running in his style. (Look up the definitions on your own... I'm too lazy to do it now) He also likes to use second boards for some of his tricks and even occasionally uses boards without trucks. A lot of things you'll see in his style is using walls and fences as obstacles, he has skated on a car, he slid on top of a car while his board went under only to come out the other side so he can land on it. Impressive right?

Well because I idolize him as a skater, I have tried to do some of his stuff. I've done wall runs onto my board and kind of used two boards for things.

He is around 30 years old. He has a strong passion in wanting to become a stuntman (if he isn't already) He took lessons in Kai Karate in highschool which he incorporates in some of his skateboarding. He hails from Denver, Colorado and is sponsored by the skate shop "The Denver Shop" who put out 3 skate videos between 2006 and 2008 in which William is featured in. The videos are; Burning Daylight, Hollerado, and In Color. I discovered him via Hollerado  and was simply amazed. Check it out for yourself....

And here's In Color.... both very AWESOME video parts from him.

Hope you liked today's "Skater of the Day." If you have any suggestions on who else should be covered, by all means shoot me a comment and I'll start my research and make a detailed "skater analysis" or so to speak.
