Mike Rusczyk

Killer no-complys*. Proper under-rated. Bendy back foot. Got retired from professional skateboarding by a foolish company. Runs a good art website.
*(I don’t feel that should be pluralised to ‘ies’)


Ain’t that a beautiful sight.


“It counts!” – Rad part.


Wall riding.


Best use of Lego in skateboarding??

As a last bit of video… This is related because Mike Rusczyk pops up in it.
It’s a video tribute to Matt Hensley with various pros dressed as and doing tricks in the style of.

Fucking rad.

    Under-rated is right! Mike has always killed it. After he moved to California, he would pop up here and there in in videos and magazines, but when his first full part in “Art Bars” came out we were all so stoked. They held a premier for the video in Chicago at some dude’s loft (I think; I was pretty tanked) and we were all bugging out seeing Mike up on the screen.
    I wish I had some of the old local vids with him to share. You can check some of his older Chi-town footage here:

    It’s really rad that somebody out there put this up. When I see things like this it kinda bums me out that I sort of went in the shadows. I always have the idea in the back of my mind that I want to put some shit out there, video part, photos, whatever just to get something out there. I just want to say thanks to you guys and let you know that things like this motivate me to surface.

    – Mike

Status began in 2010 as a simple way to share skate photos taken in Kansai, Japan. We now have three contributors producing bilingual content about skateboarding in Japan and elsewhere.

STATUSは2010年に神戸とその周辺のスケートフォトを共有する手段として始まった。 現在は三人でスケートボーディングに関係あることを二カ国語で書いている。
