What happens to skateboards when they die? Sometimes they go onto a wall. Sometimes they get tossed into a bush or thrown into a fire. James West sees a tiny pheonix inside every board. That wood is’t done serving its time yet. There is use in that fine maple! And so he builds amazing things for the every day skater.

    Brian Cotright, better known as Chubbs, hails from Texas but currently resides in sunny Santa Cruz. He is also a man of many talents. Not only does he skate like his prairie oysters are bigger than baseballs, but he can make you look good too.  Meaning he is good with both a camera and a computer. From photos, to edits, and even event websites like the recent Bayou Battle, Chubbs can do it.
