Unlike the Balrog, this week’s Monday Cover skater, Super Unknown, made it easily over the gap at the newly opened Ed Benedict skatepark. Why does this skater go by Super Unknown? Well, because we have no idea what his name is but we were stoked on his skating. Check out more of Super Unknown shredding it up after the turn. Now, how many folks would pay money to have Grover in a Gandalf suit stand next to the gap repeating “None shall pass!” as people attempt the gap?
Congratulations Super Unknown!
