I love doing these year-end recap blogs. I think everyone should do it since it really helps you look back on all of your accomplishments and kinda kicks you in the ass to do something even better next year.

This week is a double banger, and who better to feature than Mike Lilly. While I was living in Arizona in 2010, Mike came out to film a 90 second edit for Revolution Skate Shop, and I shot some photos for their website. Mike is one of the best skaters to shoot photos of since everything he does is flawless and full of such unique style...
