Bobbie Altiser has been on my radar for quite a while. He’s been classified under the front brake magic file and that’s a real good thing. There’s not a lot of riders out there that run front brakes (or brakes in general) these days. It blows my mind how more people don’t run front brakes with how fun it looks. Either way, I’ve been wanting to find out a little more about Bobbie for a while now, so I finally shot him over a few questions. Let’s find out a little bit more about the dude…

Defgrip – Mike Jonas Edit

“It was about a year ago when I first heard about Jonas – people telling me about some Long Island-to-Berkeley transplant, doing all kinds of crazy moves that nobody else would imagine doing. I think it was Kurt Russell or John Ivers that introduced me to him out at the Martinez skatepark, and, on seeing Jonas ride, I was convinced that the rumors about his riding were true.

After taking a trip to the Glory Hole fullpipe with him last summer, I felt that an edit of Jonas – showcasing his unique style and trick set – would be a lot of fun to work on, and even more enjoyable to take in and watch. This turned out to be the truth – we’re stoked on it, and we hope that you, the viewer, will be as stoked as we are. Be sure to check out Jonas’ bio in Dig 84!
