Adam Mueller edit

Adam Mueller is the Yeti of Detroit skateboarding. While sightings may be somewhat rare, they always leave you speachless.

I was more than stoked to watch it. A lot of the photographs I have posted are captured on video in this edit. However, If you want to see some of his better work, check out the new Tyrant Skate Co Video, Hello From the Gutter or better yet, track him down. Some of the subtle stuff will never be fully appreciated on screen. photo 1: Adam Mueller 360 flip...
