MITCH FABER, HIGH FIVE
Here is the first High Five on the international Tagsters.
To kick off this first High Fives, Mitch Faber, our longtime Tagsters friend, shreds a line in Berlin. I've met Mitch about a year ago, and he is one of the most dedicated skaters out there. We would get out every week to shoot some pictures. We went to Barcelona together and had a blast there. Mitch is actually in Barca at the moment, skating again after his bad injury slamming at the Marnix gap in Amsterdam. Unfortunatly he has to leave the Netherlands soon, due to immigration services being a pain in the ass. We are going to miss him here, that's for sure.
