Bio:
Colin first came to the skateboarding world via Powell Peralta's “Public Domain”, skating Vancouver's wooden indoor play lands like the Skate Ranch with other future pros like Moses Itkonen, Sluggo, and Rick Howard. Colin was young and he was good, and people envied it, hated on it, and respected it all at the same time. A few years later, Colin made a move to what would prove to be one of the most legendary skateboard team rosters in history-Plan B.
With the Plan B videos, Colin proved to be one of the last vert and street skateboarders (along with Danny Way). Since Virtual Reality, the only exception might be Bob Burnquist in his early Anti Hero days. But for the most part, Danny and Colin were the last to excel at both and film video parts that reflected such versatility and talent. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone new come along and do the same?
Through the years Colin proved to be, not only one of vert's survivors, but revolutionaries-bringing street moves to vert ramps with ease, pushing vert tricks even further and with style, impressing the skateboarding community at contests, videos and magazines. He's a business partner in a Canadian skateboard distribution company called Centre Distribution, and the owner of two RDS Skate Supply. It's a lot to get from skateboarding, but well deserved when you consider what Colin has given (and continues to give) to skateboarding.
