Epic was a short-lived company that eventually turned into Small Room and later on Shorty's. I don't know if they had any other pros besides Don & Eddie Gomez, but, I know that a lot of guys (Kris Markovich & Bryan Pennington to name a couple) got their start as ams for Epic.
Don Hillsman is a kick ass vert rider from
Atlanta Georgia, USA. Being from Birmingham, Alabama, I had many opportunities to skate with him. He is a cool guy.
Hope this info helps... |

| If anyone had Graphics or a pic of one of decks I would be truely grateful, I'd say a board itself would be ultra rare |
