#414 - Liam Pace

Liam Pace discusses growing up skating bowls at Santa Rita skate park in Tucson AZ, his backyard mini ramp, running from the cops in full pads at 13 years old, knocking his front tooth out at Washington Street & skating the same day with it wired back in, blacking out on big tricks, 23 broken bones, turning his first leg plate into a ring, getting on Foundation through Mike Sinclair at 18 then moving to Madness with Bill Weiss, the Madness promo video he’s working on, Hell Ride, Swampfest, X Games, and much more!
