Henry Sanchez
Person
Tim and Henry's Pack of Lies, Blind Skateboards, 1992
This is the Embarcadero era in its purest form. Henry Sanchez powers through San Francisco's most famous plaza, seemingly inventing tricks as he goes, with a mix of pop, speed and ledge control that defined what a plaza skater could be. Blind's first video gave him a full-length part, and he used every second of it. Watch it if you want to understand why a slab of San Francisco waterfront became the center of the skate world in the early 1990s.
