New Recruits and Changes
While several unfounded rumors circulate around the skateboarding world, there are a handful of new roster and endorsement changes you should know about. Talented and true and armed with big snaps, Austria’s Chris Pfanner has been welcomed to the Anti-Hero clan. He’s got it like that. Terrell Robinson is the latest addition to the massive team of riders at FKD. Derek Fukuhara is tuned up and on the Upful hardware squad. Lastly and unfortunately, Ali Boulala has been released from etnies’ team roster.
