Throwback Thursday: Jon Reyes Micro Sponsor Me

So this video sticks out to me for a few reasons. One of them being that it was the first time I had really seen Jon Reyes footage. It was around 2005 that I started hearing about Jon Reyes a bit more, and I had seen a few clips, and was always impressed, but I'd have to wait a bit longer before this edit was released. It was when Micro released the fact that they would be sponsoring US riders, that everyone and their mother made a "Micro Sponsor Me"...including Jon Reyes. While he didn't make the Team, he did produce a great classic edit. You can really see Jon's tech roots in this video.

Currently Jon is known as one of the leading, if not the leading, tech flat rider. He's been a long time rider for Phoenix Pro Scooters, and just got his first signature deck. Definitely came a long way from the stock pro models he's riding in the below video. Check it out.
