JOHN
CARDIEL
embodies all of the above. Arriving on the
scene a mere two years ago, he has upped
the ante at every session he has participated
in. From his blood-curdling scream to an
arsenal of utterly mind-bending moves, he
makes us all ask, "How far is too far, how big
is too big and more importantly, who the fuck
is that guy? Another chapter in the Cardiel
legend is this flight on the sea wall at Ocean
Beach in San Francisco. It's rough, windy
and the ledge is about 30 inches wide.
