Ryan Callinan has had our hearts since he introduced us to his backhand whip a few years back during a trip for the Kustom Airstrike. Since then he’s gone onto be one of the world’s best, putting out elite video parts, including a very underrated part in Cluster as well as qualified for the world tour. He’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and during his recent stop through town for the US Open, where he made the quarters, we took him shopping at our favorite liquor store.
