Arto Saari on Epicly Later’d
Arto Saari's story is nothing short of miraculous. Obviously he's naturally gifted and skated his ass off as a kid, but his rise to prominence is like no one else's. If you wanted to describe it to someone who doesn't skate, you could say: Imagine a boy from a faraway country showing up at the World Series and asking if he can play. And not only does he play, but he hits four home runs and becomes the MVP. That's basically what Arto did; he showed up at the best place to show off your skills as a walk-on and kicked off one of the most apex (that's Arto's word for amazing) skate careers of all time.
Arto is personally one of my favorite skaters of all time. I watched this dude grow up as I was growing up watching videos like Menikmati to Sorry; from Flip Skateboards to his departure onto Alien Workshop and now back to Flip. Watch and learn a few things...
