Rick Howard is a Canadian professional skateboarder, who is a part-owner of Girl Skateboards and cofounded the Lakai Limited Footwear company with fellow professional skateboarder Mike Carroll. ==Professional skateboarding== After relocating from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to California, US at the age of seventeen, Howard began his skateboarding career with Blockhead Skateboards (where he was assigned professional status) and Gullwing Trucks. Howard lived with the owner of Blockhead in San Diego and stated in 2011, "It was really fun living there and a lot of fun sessions, lot of different people coming through there, like Chris Miller that was awesome." Following Blockhead, Howard skated for Plan B Skateboards in 1991 and, during his time with Plan B, he left Gullwing and switched to Independent Trucks. His part in the second Plan B video, ''Virtual Reality'', is well known for his advancement of "switch-stance" skating (skateboarding with the opposite stance of that which a rider naturally adopts). The "fakie frontside big spin heelflip" is named the "Rick Flip" or "Howard Heel"—the invention of this trick has been credited to Howard; however, Howard has publicly stated that he does not appreciate the recognition, as he does not believe that he is the trick's inventor. While Howard was filmed performing in skits for the 2012 Girl/Chocolate co-production ''Pretty Sweet'',〔he is not featured in the actual film. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rick Howard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
