Craig Johnson, Texas plant, double-capped Rector kneepads, full helmet, plus the fact he's rocking one black and one white Converse all added up to a perfect flyer image for our upcoming Death Match event with CONS down in Texas.

Jake liked this flick of Craig hucking a boneless from the Independent book too, but the Texas plant won out in the end.
