Double fisted.NICK SCURICH was already gainfully gain·ful adj. Providing a gain; profitable: gainful employment. gain  ful·ly adv. employed as a video dude when he approached me for tips on improving his skate photos. "I'm having some problems," he said. It's not that they sucked...well, actually they did. But unlike many novices, Nick was willing to deal with the sucking. He kept practicing. And sending them in-better and better shit until we had no choice but to publish. "I think I've got a cover for you!" he's told me two or three times since. Not yet, but that Tosh interview wasn't too shabby. Did I mention Nick's 19? And you know how we're always going on and on about the new generation of skaters who can do all the tricks and are gonna take out all the pros? Well, Nick is down with 'em. Seriously, every other week he sends some gnarly (jargon) gnarly - /nar'lee/ Both obscure and hairy. "Yow! - the tuned assembler implementation of BitBlt is really gnarly!"

Like Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog is a fictional hedgehog character that serves as the mascot of the Japanese video game company Sega. The name is also the title of several entries in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. (with whom, coincidentally, he shares a hairstyle), Nick would rather keep running around crazy--juggling Sonys and Hasselblads at the bottom of the rails, making it happen with his own raw, double-fisted technique. --Michael Burnett |
