More DescriptionTempleton has been a professional skater for over 10 years, an absolutely unheard-of length of time in a world that regularly eats its own due to the commonality of injury and high burn-out rates.

This is not a casual observer bent on imposing outside values, but rather a hard-core insider creating images based on familiarity and passion.
