I don't know about the rest of the world but in the US Lyle Shivak is a very respected OG skater. He has paid his dues and contributed many of his own innovations to our sport. For some reason in his +10 years of shooting sections in some of the top videos of the decade he has never been a main stream pro. He laced the first 360° Fish ever in a video in the 2001 Daily Bread video "Under The Influence", And pioneered many more of the now termed "Spin to Win" tricks.

Lyle has had sections in legendary videos like "No Ones Children", "Demode" and "Filth" and has worked with countless film makers and magazines in his decade long career. The term coined for skaters like Lyle is that he is a "Pro's Pro" because all the pros know and respect him, but the kids aren't familiar with this long time ripper.
So here we reintroduce Lyle to the new generation, starting with this bad ass One Minute One Spot and then with his section in the up coming film "Fester" that he worked on for the last 18 months. By the end all will be saying what every one who has ever known Lyle says, "Don't fuck with Lyle!".
