Lenny Rivas grew up skating in National City, just south of San Diego, in the 90’s era of super progressive street skating and had a lengthy career, riding for some of the top companies in Southern California. During his younger years, he taught himself math, artistic lettering. After watching Chad Muska draw on his grip tape, like many skaters have, he started his own style of grip tape lettering for himself and his homies and it became Lenster Grip, a custom grip tape company. Lenny skated all over So Cal, mostly in LA and all his local spots and parks around National City, like Memorial Park and the Chula Vista park. At one point, he had a spoofie tribute graphic of Matt’s classic Street Swinger graphic for his Pro Model. So, when Lenny showed up on H-Street, we thought that’d be a good start. We called up Bob Hickman for the task of creating a way better character for Lenny and we are stoked to introduce the first of two Pro Models for Lenny Rivas, who also drew the typestyle for the top logo. Lenny’s first model is available in four sizes.
