Atchley rides more like a hip-hop version of Trujillo to me. Effortless. Cards does not make things look effortless... that's the beauty of him.. brutal slams and all. I do dig Atchley's loose style.

The last time I rode Burnside was in 2003 and it was my first time there. Made the mistake of going at 5pm or so and it was PACKED with all the locals (including Q in the crow's nest talking TONS of ish to anyone and everyone and throwing empty cans at kooks). Took me like 20 minutes to get the nerve to drop in on you dudes. Slammed super hard several times, but ended up having one of the most memorable days of my 25+ years of skating. Great times. and oh yeah, I was easily the worst skater there that day (including the female locals). Burnside is no joke and takes time to figure out. I consider it in my top 3 skate spots of all time.
