For the last 3 years or so Derek Rinaldi Shut riding force of nature has been THOS’s imbedded reporter and liaison to all things East Coast skate. Well he has been officially pinched from us by Bryce Kanights over at SkateDaily.net and I for one am happy for DR and BK.  I dig DR and everything BK and his partners do over at SD….A rising tide lifts all ships!!
