If you speak to some of the kids that grew up skating with Ishod in South Jersey, they'll tell you that in the not-so-distant past, he was progressing at a regular pace, and wasn't too hard to beat in S-K-A-T-E. Yet at some point, his skill took off running, as he figured out a secret to rapid-fire consistency, and the ability to practically learn tricks on call, quickly sending him to the upper echelon of AMs in skateboarding today. He has since been seen taking second place at the 2010 Tampa AM and winning the 2010 Phoenix AM competition and Maloof Am contest, in addition to filming for the upcoming Real video, which is bound to turn a few heads.
