EVERY MINTUTE COUNTS

IT'S SORT OF OLD NEWS, BUT IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THE BILLY KAHN BOARDS ARE IN! SOME OF THE YOUNGER PEOPLE PROBABLY HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO MEET OR SKATE WITH HIM (IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE HE'S COME BACK TO TOWN), BUT BILLY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A INSPIRATION TO THE RISE FAMILY. HE MIGHT EVEN HAVE THE FIRST "RISE" TATTOO.
