Printle "Pete" Russell

Pete Russell didn't just join the roller skating world — he re-engineered it. As the inventor of the V45 Hybrid Skate Plate and the Original Micro-Fiberglass Wheels, Pete gave skaters something they never had before: a surface that moves like ice. No grip. All slide. His signature moves — The Suicide Slide and The Jesus Slide — have become part of the culture. SK8 Fanatics isn't just a brand. It's what happens when a pro skater decides to build the gear he always wished existed.

Inventor. Skater. Founder.
