• Shelly Brown – You have been the rock and foundation of my life for these many years. You have supported me at every moment, every day of every year we have been in business. You shared me with the community and went to bed with my side of the bed empty for years while I worked to the wee hours to meet deadlines for 105 straight months! We have logged thousands of road miles together chasing stories and building the brand. Sales, distribution, marketing and content development are just some of the “unofficial” hats you've worn for RTT. I cannot thank you enough for all you do and have done. You are my family and my love and have sacrificed so much to help form, focus and drive the vision for RTT. Thank you will never be enough. • Anicia Beckwith – You have been such a blessing to this community in so many ways. Your artistic courage, talent, vision and humanity are without peer, and I have been honored to feature your work in our pages and to be inspired by your gifts. Thank you for elevating RTT with your amazing creative execution and love of the art form. You are both student, master and believer in the craft, in the moment, and the spirit of creation. I am forever in your debt and am filled with gratitude for the work you have shared with our community in our pages. • Kyle Volland – Kyle, you may just be the kindest person I know. I am proud of the artist you have become and truly will miss working with you each month. Keep rising my friend and thank you for your support of the skate scene these many years. • Thomas Lloyd Qualls – The writer. The poet. The humanist. The visionary. The strident keeper of hope. The reminder...Simply, thank you to the 100th power. • Chris Holloman – The Phoenix. The artist. Lazarus. Thank you for being such a force for RTT.
