Billy has come the longest way and is very deserving of this nomination.  He got ran over by a car over 17 months ago and underwent surgery and a years worth of rehab to put out a stunning section in the Truth II, by The Kelso Brothers and Austin Paz.  He also spent extensive time touring Europe with the Conference and built his own frame company, Create Originals, with Hakeem Jimoh, and Brian Lewis.  Oh yeah and he dropped a pro skate and a pro wheel.  You can vote for Billy or any of the other Straight Jacket crew here. Also be sure to check out his new interview in One Magazine already on newsstands across the World.  Congrats on the nomination Fish!  Buy his pro wheel here.
