    Face Time video: Cody McEntire

    By Adam Salo

    Published Sunday October 23, 2011


    TadashiCody McEntire's got it like that. A lofty kickflip to fakie on the Daly City miniramp outside of San Francisco.

    Think skateboards has some amazing skaters that maybe haven' gotten the full shine they deserve from the rest of the skateboarding industry. Cody McEntire is one such skater. Emerging out of the tiny Texas hamlet of Belton back in 2006, McEntire showed up at the famed Tampa Am contest as a relative unknown. McEntire then went on to shock the crowd in attendance, and later the skateboarding world, by beating all comers and taking the win in Tampa over heavy hitters including Tommy Sandoval, Keegan Sauder and Dave Bachinsky. McEntire hasn't slowed down since, but he also hasn't done a lot of speaking up. The quiet kid has been letting his skating do the talking ... and his skating has been speaking volumes. Our buddy Tadashi Yamaoda recently cornered McEntire in his new home in San Francisco to get some of his opinions on camera and capture some of his skating as well.
