Lackey is the new gen Roach and was one of (if not THE) inspiration for me to get up on the knee. Despite his skills and exposure the dude is just so humble.
I am so amped for the Lackey Project, i think that it will be awesome for the knee, not just for fans of the Jack Stance but has the potential to influence heaps of kids to stop doing spins all the way to the beach and get the FUCK up!
In my opinion he is the best in the world right now, a few years ago he had the power and style but was perhaps not as consistent. Now the lad holds it down all the fucking time, with Dylan under his wing the future for tail bashing is looking good.
Good shit Lackey and mega props to throwtail. Out.
Yep. Lackey is an awesome ripping machine. I used to surf with him (in awe) at D’bah all the time when my bro and I lived there. You see him take off at middle peak and then 2 seconds later, he is bashing the lip way down at lovers….
p.s – Ryan Crampton is gay
