Dan Peterka can be considered a legend amongst the skaters. He’s the inventor of the Crooked Grind a.k.a. Crooks, Pointer Grind, or the K-grind. The guy really rocked the board and always seemed to know what’s gonna be the next best thing. Plus, he was no show off, like many skaters nowadays. It was all just pure pleasure. Here’s a video of Dan, way back in the days when the grass was greener and the sun shined brighter. 1989 to be more precise. God I feel old!
The former pro skateboarder/snowboarder is now well known designer, photographer and artist, and a co-founder of The Movement – a snowboard company. No matter what Dan Peterka does, he’ll always do it out of passion. And be sure he’ll always be way ahead of you. Some people are just born like that.
