Colin first arrived on the skateboarding scene via Powell Peralta's public domain. He skated Vancouver's wooden indoor playlands like the Skate Ranch alongside other future pros, including Itkonen and Howard. A few years later, Colin took his position on what would prove to be one of the most legendary skateboard team rosters in history: Plan B. Over the years, Colin became a vert skating revolutionary, bringing street moves to oversized vert ramps and pushing the limits of vert tricks he has perfected with style.
Quote:
On what he likes best about skateboarding: "The creativity, I think. Making up new tricks, and then progressing, and trying to come up with new stuff."
On what keeps him going after all the injuries: "I just love doing it. I love the feeling, the sensation that it gives me especially like landing a trick, riding away, there's no better feeling."
