SKATE TEAM

Say hello to our resident reprobate, Stuart Sinclair! So far Stu has managed to cram more into his 22 years than most do in a lifetime and he’s got the broken bones & missing teeth to prove it! This vert-master takes no prisoners on the ramp and rides hard and fast, an approach that probably stems from his other passion – riding superbikes! His aggressive style won the crowd over at Boardmasters this year where he managed to lock-down an impressive 3rd place in the non-pro comp, also earning biggest air on his way. Watch this space!

NAME: Stuart Sinclair
DOB: 01/09/1988
HOMETOWN: Fazakerstan.. Liverpool (Feral: Actually?! Is that even a real place?! Stu: It’s called Fazakerley haha, thought you’d like that!)
SPECIALITY: Vert
YEARS SKATING: 9
FAV SKATEPARK: Rampcity, Blackpool
LIKES: Music & motorbikes
DISLIKES: Rain & Police
MUSIC: The offspring (and I have a full leg Offspring tattoo to prove it!)
INJURIES: Where to begin! Right wrist broken 3 times and eventually pinned. Then managed to re-break the same one along with my arm in 3 separate places! 1 broken jaw, 4 false teeth, 5 broken metatarsals and too many plates to remember!
WORDS OF WISDOM: Errm… live life, it’s too short… if you got skills to pay the bills, then enjoy everything you do!

With charger Manfred Kutz for a dad it’s fair to say you stand a reasonable chance of turning out pretty good on a skateboard! However, Zak Kutz ain’t just pretty good he’s very good… consistently very good! The silent assassin of the team, his smooth and consistent style makes him a real threat in any comp (whether you happen to be family or not!) regardless of his tender age of just 16. Zak rarely finishes outside the top slots recently winning the non-pro comp at Boardmasters 2010 and placing 2nd in the Oakley UK Vert Series 2010. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough!
