ARTO ON ALIEN

From the Thrasher Message boards, user Bowserhound breaks the news that Arto has left FLiP for Alien Workshop. Geoff Rowley had this to say: "Arto is like a brother to me. After years of being on the same team with the same goals it was time for him to move on. We remain the best of friends and will continue to skate together probably harder and probably more so than ever!!! I wish him all the best and as a brother, I shall always have his back"
