This guy is ridiculous! How did he get so good so fast? Well prepare yourself for the best kendama playing, swagtastic, super hyphy, mad trill rollerblader this side of the Mason Dixon line. Yeah, he’s from Virginia but he didn’t die in a plane crash. And no, he’s not one of the many rollerbladers that broke themselves years ago to put one of the best VA videos out ever! No, this is Ryan Mutha Fuckin’ Timms. He skates flat and wears tight clothes like the trendy kid that he is. But he’s been my best friend for years now, and will continue to lace zero mute disaster royales for years to come.
I met him before I joined the service, back in 2003 at Mount Trashmore Skatepark. Back then when you had to session street after park religiously, you remember? Well like most groms around the age of 12-14 he couldn’t convince the ‘rents to let him roam with the older guys. Instead of saying, “screw this dorky kid with braces that does frontflips!?” I decided then to not let someone so young who had just fallen in love with this obsession be left to putz around alone. And I’m glad that I did!
In between serving the country and trying to get my groove back he was out making edits seemingly every day! Actually took trips to street comps and competed in the last 2 Norfolk street comps I held. He went from p-rail annihilator/park rat to flowing like a pro and droppin’ legit hammers. But no matter what he always stayed humble and never got full of himself. He has held so many P-rail comps you’d think he was trying to bring the scene back via his driveway!
This is to my best friend of all time, an honest dude and committed rollerblader. He may be a college student now but he seems to be getting better during the time most people decide to hang up their boots and “move on”. Here’s Ryan Mutha Fuckin’ Timms, my boi.Oh yeah, by the way. He does in fact get money.

not worth being on be-mag. sorry. but the upcomers usually show really good talents.
that stair rail in the back has these giant knobs that stick up where the posts are, so theres no way you could balance on it you would be smacking those things every time there was a support =[
