A few questions to Luke Croker

By Charles Paratte

Who has’ nt read somewhere the overused phrase “prefers quality to quantity” ? I don’t know what prefers Luke but I confirm the quality fits him perfectly. Three years ago, he made one of the best video of the year, which would still be a “must” in 2012. Since then, Luke did’nt become the most famous skateboarder in the world, I suppose that it is not his intention…
