and thats after recieving 62 stitches to his face 1-2 months prior.
he's sure stepping it up a few notches.
in addition, brendos is riding for some very underground companies.
i.e pride bodyboards, adrenalin wetsuits...
im sure he would be on some good coin tho.

brendo doesn't ride for pride anymore, he is now having a redback model comming out, check no friends oz. it would be pretty lame board but hey he gets more money and he still gets customs
