First off, I’d like to apologize to the kid who didn’t really look like Rumer Willis. That was only supposed to be up for a day. Sorry, dude. I owe you one.

Hitz looking hesitant.

Lincoln, Nebraska’s Kevin Wilkins. 

One of the big surprises was the return of Justin Lynch. 

Still had rad half cab and lip variations. 

Everyone’s waiting to see if we’ll get to see those legendary ollies to fakie. That would be cool.
