Throwback: Alex Donnachie in 2013 10

Five years ago - long before Monster, Vans, and the Donnasqueak tire, Alex Donnachie was a young shredder from Scotland putting in work at Unit 23. We caught up with Alex for one hour of riding on a cold winter day. From day one, it was clear Alex had a creative way of looking at riding, endless skills, and a huge future ahead of him.
