Nick Dompierre "Start your Engines"
Words by David Luther
Nick Dompierre runs a tight rig. Literally, I mean that he runs super small wheels loose as a goose with rock hard trucks, the better to feel the power surge as he thunders through the world. A few years ago, when he was an amateur, his name was in the final running for Thrasher's Skater Of The Year, but it was supposedly canned because it would be a sorry reflection on pro skateboarding if an Am came out of nowhere and blew the doors off everything all at once. Be that as it may, his subsequent and inevitable leap into the pro leagues has added a fuel injection to his relentless campaign of nerve- shredding skateboarding.
