Deer Man of Dark Woods has ridden for Heroin for over fifteen years. The first Barrier Kult video “Horde” was sent to me by John Rattray around 2004, and became a big influence on our 2005 video “Live from Antarctica”. Heroin Skateboards started communicating with the Barrier Kult shortly after receiving Horde, and the idea that Deer Man should ride for Heroin was suggested. His first Heroin part was in our 2007 DVD “Magic Sticky Hand” but his first pro board was shortly before that around the end of 2006. (French did the graphic, it was in the Evil Forest series)
Deer Man has gone on to make loads of great parts with Heroin, I first met him in person in 2010 when we did a trip to Japan together and filmed for a video that became the “Barrier Kult vs the Osaka Daggers” edit. Then he filmed the last part for “Video Nasty” our 2013 video. He’s appeared in every one of our video’s since in one way or another, and had an epic part in the Horde 2 video that released Halloween 2017.
This is his newest and last part for Heroin. I feel that Heroin has been so fortunate to have worked with Barrier Kult and Deer man for the past fifteen plus years, and thank everyone for their hard work and commitment to our brand. Deer Man has chosen to purify his approach to skateboarding by stepping away from the idea of a pro skateboarder, and that’s a decision that I respect.
Enjoy Deer Man’s final Heroin part and pick up his last “Return to the Forest” and “Life” boards, in stores now.
