content: This limited edition "Hot Rod" Honey Badger t-shirt was created by Raith Grimes of HoodWood Skates. It is a white short sleeve t-shirt with a purple drawing of a honey badger driving a car on the front of the shirt. Marty Grimes was the first Black professional skateboarder along with his brother Clyde. In 1976, after the Del Mar Nationals, Jay Adams got Marty onto the EZ Ryder team that Jay’s stepfather had started after Jay left the Zephyr team. EZ Ryder then turned into Z Flex and Grimes was the first African American to have a pro model deck.
