Everyone that gets on the platform!! Really though, I was blessed to know Leslie Look, Darin Richardson, Kirk Karwoski, and Sioux-z Hartwig, Gillingham, Stewart, Regan, Belsito, Sortwell, Pete Alantz, Jim Ford, and Maile from the get go ~ I believe they passed on a sense of roots and passion for the sport that is unsurpassed.
