Born, raised and still residing in East Van (a definite rarity in 'Couver), 21 year-old Desmond Hoostie grew up rolling in the teacup and tub at China Creek skatepark. He's becoming widely recognized in Vancouver for his tech street skating skills, and was recently recruited as part of Adidas Canada's exclusive skate program. Check out his web interview here. Desmond also appears in Wizard Smoke and he's one of the opening skaters in the locally-produced TENS video, which can now be found online for mass consumption (along with some other archived gems) on Don't Sleep Productions' Vimeo page.
