My pick for the Tribe team is Zach Porter. Zach has been consistently killing it for years now, executing difficult and creative tricks with style. His crew (GVK) is known for creating top-notch edits that will blow your mind, and they’ve won a number of the Terra Kendama edit contests as a result.
Congratulations Zach, stoked to have you on the team.
