Eric Dressen

Eric Dressen has had a storied career in as a professional skateboarder that spans six different decades. Born June 16, 1967, Dressen was featured in Skateboarder Magazine at the tender age of 10 and turned pro for Alva Skates at age 13. He transformed to a fully grown, all terrain ripper in the 1980's, where he pushed the limits of early street, riding for Santa Cruz Skateboards. Dressen can be credited for inventing the 'Salad Grind' (Five-0 tweaked toe side) which was named because his last name sounds like 'dressing'. Dressen became more illusive in the '90s with footage being scarce, but by the time the 2000's rolled around, he found his rightful place back on Santa Cruz.
