Parker White

One Righteous Dude:
Parker White is the Business Side of the Party

If a mullet was a human being—and if it had a mustache—it would be Parker White.

It’s not as random a comparison as it seems. Parker has been sporting both for years, a look that was in full effect when I met him in downtown Bellingham, WA in March of 2018.

He burst onto the scene with Level 1’s 2010 film, Eye Trip, throwing frontflip double-tip grabs over a 110-foot channel gap in Sun Valley, ID.
