Effortless style, I always remember reading about Bill in the pages of Freestylin/Go, heres one of the tricks at 00:46 that i've wanted to see for years! This was 1988!!

Wow!! Bill was waaay ahead of his time. He could have easily competed & probably won Pro Flatland back then.

No doubt, effortless style, always a treat to come across some Bill footage.
