Marcus Payne
As the first ‘Official’ Team rider for Herbal, there has been plenty of time for our up’s and downs. There is no doubt about it, Marcus is a top class skateboarder and a true Transition Terrorist!
Marcus can destroy a stair set or two here and there – Nollie Full-cab Heels, Nollie BS-Heel etc. But its transitions that Marcus feels most at home on. Just wind him up and let him loose on Mini-ramp – that’s entertainment.
Early 2009 Marcus broke his arm – or even snapped it. It was pretty gruesome, bone came out the skin – you know how it goes… Thinking this might stop him for a year was just silly. 4 months later he was back on his board with his bionic arm and now he is completely healed.
Marcus spent the best part of a year living in Swansea which gave him the chance to mix with the locals up there and get friendly with the SOS, but now he is back where he belongs and more epic than ever.
Murray Cross
Murray joined the team in 2009, but has always been around. He was one of those kids down the Skatepark that would land a kickflip and look around to see who saw him! That phase started to change when he was landing huge FS-flips completely obliviouse to anyone watching as his listened to his Thrash Metal on his iPod.
Still pretty young, Murray is always game for a challange or a mission somewhere. Keen on street skating, he takes his fair share of slams, all in the name of progression. Its pretty funny to watch him talking to himself as he gets amped before a big trick
We are currently working on putting together a little ‘Welcome’ edit for Murray, so keep your eyes peeled
Herbal Family
As well as the official team, we also have a huge bunch of local Herbal Heroes; representing, spreading the word and keeping it real. We wouldn’t be where we are now and moving up without their help.
You will see them all appearing in the Monthly edits and each month they are all getting sicker…
Big up the Herbal Massive!
