Cliché just released a Tas Pappas guest board with a gnarly part from the veteran vert skater.

Went to Puerto Rico in 1995 after remembering there was shit to skate. Met up with Bolly and hit the infamous "Ditch of Death."  Someone died there on a board in the '70s. Happy birthday Julien! —Jake Phelps
