TPM Episode 123: Cesar Mora, Vert Legend

Cesar Mora was born to become a professional soccer player and he was on track to make that happen. He moved from Australia to Spain and began training with Rayo Vallencano before visa issues forced him out of Spain. When he returned to Australia, he worked at a skateboard shop, found rollerblading, and within two years, was on top of the sport. He dominated vert from 95 to 99 and then he broke his arm. While Cesar continued to compete, he was never the same. It's an interesting story with one of the best.
