Kyle Schmidt

Ive known kyle for about 7 or 8 years. Kyle is a couple years older then me. He was one of those kids in Harleysville that everybody looked up to if they skated. I remember being nervous to talk to him when I was younger. He was definitely one of the best skaters in Harleysville when we were growing up. Kyle used to drive us around to so many random places just looking for spots. We had a lot of good times. We dont get to skate as much anymore but when we do its always a good time. Thanks for everything Kyle!

I always liked kyles style. Everything he lands is perfect. Everything is really precise. Especially on ledges. He has a foot setup for every trick and its the same everytime. This is his part from our video "Focus" from 2006. Kyle never really cared to much about filming. He did a lot of good tricks off camera and Ive seen him do some crazy stuff at parks.



Some tricks that really stood out to me were the line at the highschool with the quick grass gaps. The 5050 on the loading dock at landis. You cant really tell on video but that thing is so high. The heelflip and the kickflip over the barrier. All the tricks he did over the stairs onto the grass and ollieing his Mini Cooper haha.
