Memorable first experiences with Stu seem to be a common theme among skaters that I know, that have met him. The first time usually involves seeing him dae something mental on his board or feeling some mental pain from him fae him on his board. I myself had brutal encounter with stu after snaking him at livi once...
The human cannonball might have a tough 'livi' outer shell but once you get to know the cunt he's alright! To be honest alot of people might not like the fact that he tell's it how it is, but I'd rather listen to him for one minute than listen to some wee moaning cunt who has nothing to give.
So without any more rambling here's some top 5's from one of Scotland's gnarliest Concrete Slayers, Creature Pro, American exile and all round decent man fridge - a true livi born and bred monster... STU GRAHAM!!!!
