HALF PINT TEAM RIDER ALUMNI 2007 & 2008
Pierce Brunner
Pierce and brother Chris just plain kill it! These two guys are going to be gracing the covers of skate mags for years to come! We were proud to hear the news that they were both picked up onto the new Powell Team, which means they too will be riding Bones Wheels and Bearings (Go Swiss) and S1 Helmets. We are looking forward to watching both their skate careers explode over the next couple of years! You guys are going to be missed on the HPS Team!
