Always down to check out any wall, is Sacramento transplant, now Missoula local, Randy Katen. So you want to learn snap-back frontside grinds? Well, Randy has them down. All the photo references after the turn and while your at it, check out his Sunday night punk rock radio show, Generation X, on KBGA, University of Montana Radio.

Old friends connecting again, Randy and Bryce Kanights.
Now that’s one styling bail.
Showing the coping no mercy once again.
I met Randy at the Treasure Bowl last may and he is one cool whirling ball of energy.
Randy! Hope you’re digging the Rat City Ruckus album…..
It was great skating with you!
“…whirling ball of energy”, couldn’t have described him better. That dude has been my hero since the 70’s. N-Men for life.
i like the santa cruz shirt, nice attire
Skatin’ Katen isn’t nicknamed “Volume 11” for nothing. Ha! It was so awesome to hang out and skate with him on his home turf last week.
Propper snap-back frontsides! Does a proppa tail tap too. Air guitar between runs.
is it just me or are those coping blocks spaced kinda far apart in the shot with Bryce
That’s my cowboy!!!! Yee-haa!!
