24 + 852 = 876

Where do I start with this? I could mention Prodip (ex-LMF, now with Michael Lau), who made the excellent art on the skate deck. Or I could talk about 24 Herbs, the HK rap group whose debut album the limited-edition board commemorates. (The group, which features our pals Conroy, Kit, Phat, and Brian, just opened for Mobb Deep in Hong Kong.) Then there's Brian's HK-pride shop/brand 852, which helped make and sells the board. And is that Sam "The Man" Lee sitting on the bench?

Damn, that's a spiderweb of connections to GR. Someone give me a pencil so I can chart it out.
