… would shred as sweet. Shakespeare anyone? This week’s Monday Cover, Zion O’Friel, the skater previously known as Michael, lofts a big ollie to tail smack in the Dew Tour bowl. Native to Northwest concrete, Zion is right at home when it comes to gnarly terrain. Check out more pics of Zion taking it to this little slice of utopian skate unity after the turn.
Congratulations Zion!

I was going to change my name to Zion but now it is ruined for me.
What’s the backstory on the Name change? Did i miss that somewhere?
I guess he likes the name Zion. I’m not sure why he has chosen a new moniker?
Zion? Really? Wow!
That’s what happens when kids listen to too much Reggae.
That guy sure can skate though.
Why should he use the name his father gave him. I like the free spirt aspect of changing you name to what you want.
I like Gator Mark Anthony better.
Zion is his middle name!
Yes his full name is Michael Zion O’Friel. He transcended into a new spiritual life, hence the name change. My little brother here now spreads light wherever he skates!
New life. New name. Transformed by the renewing.
He is using the name his Father gave him. Hahahaha.
