Ben Job was a multi-talented individual. He was a bad-ass skateboarder, could ollie over garbage cans, etc. He came onto the scene in Boulder, Colorado, when Daryl Genz interested him in freestyle. He was a real quick learner, largely overtaking my one and a half years of learning in about 3 months. First guy I ever saw hit blurry whirl. Cool and funny too, real nice. He was serious about his studies, though (electrical engineering, I think; something techy anyway) and dropped out of the freestyle scene as quick as he'd entered it, sticking around just long enough to invent his now famous notation system for the sake of a college class he was taking. He showed up, made his mark, and disappeared, all in under a year. A rare kind of person, I guess.
