He was out of the spotlight for many years, only then making headlines in 2013 when he appeared as interviewee in the documentary  “Signal Hill Speed Run”, which covered the world’s first skateboard race. The event has since become an annual event with thousands of spectators, viewers and television crews covering the race.
