Lester Kasai grew up in Anaheim, California and was one of the original "Badlands" team riders. Lester and his cousin Terrence Yoshizawa, began skating at a young age. Lester was one of the top Pro Skaters that dominated the Skate City Skatepark, in Whittier, California for many years. Lester was one of the super stylish big air innovators of the 80's. The Sims "Lester" board was immensely popular.

No one was fooled by the name, great concept cool format. EXPN calling the shots, using money and leverage to try and kill Vert. I guess they were not at Maloof! Cutting out Vert in Mex-X and Dubai, keeping it very quite. Maybe we need more special events, like the PLG Invitational, Or The Tony Hawk World Championships, The Bucky Bash. Let ESPN have the Motor Sports. Vert is far from Dead, AM scene just not interested in ESPN or EXPN opinions. Skateboarding and Skateboarders need to come together as one, call yourself a skateboarder without classifying yourself. X-Games could have an all round Medal event, King of the Park format, best skateboarder on the planet. Street, Super Park(Bowl), Vert....Leave Big Air on its own. Make that the Rock Star Event. Oh well, everyone trying to be so cool and core, pads or no pads, helmets or Energy Drink Hats. Skateboarding is about being yourself with no judgements. Go skate and rip, where your Mamas shoes, maybe one day you can skate in the legends session padded up.

Bucky got style and having Fun at the X-Games.Riding the back to the basics, save money Vert Ramp.
