Over the last half-century, Hewitt has solidified his spot amongst the heaviest transition skaters of all time-and he possesses the sickest frontside 5-0 ever. Our career-spanning retrospective shows you how the man became the myth. This is Peter Hewitt.

Peter Hewitt in the Anti Hero tent city video will always be a staple of gnarliness when I reminisce to myself nostalgically. I see him do something and I think, “hell no” to revere the significance of scary tricks he pulls off in the sketchiest of spots.

Peter Hewett was one of those vert dudes the street skaters loved back when street skaters weren't into vert almost at all, for whatever stupid reason that was. There's something very street about his approach even when skating built-for-skating parks, just going balls to the wall not caring if he gets destroyed, probably more than half drunk, just killing it in a way the builders probably never anticipated.
