I was like freaking out.
"Anthony Furlong" is an American professional skateboarder. He has been sponsored by 187 Pads, Triple 8, Skatepark of Tampa, Type S Wheels, Woodward, Ogio, Etnies, and Theeve.
More Anthony Furlong on Wikipedia.A few years ago, I had a bunch, but when 9/11 happened, a lot of companies who were willing to throw their money into skateboarding or BMX all backed out. It hurt the economy in general, but it hurt our sport, too. A lot of people lost sponsors. I certainly did.
He ended up moving down and I started skating because of him. He gave me my first board.
It's really tough relying on being healthy every weekend in a sport where you can be wrecked in a heartbeat.
