Dustin is f@#$ing gnarly. He lives and skates balls out, and is the only "Piss Drunk'' that's still a drunk. He's from the Land Down under, enough said, and isn't afraid to hurt himself. There are countless Dollin stories that, for lack of a better word, are simply gnar-gnar.He's one of those guys who will drink all night, pass out on the floor, wake up, drink a beer and destroy. He'll show up at your spot kind of drunk, do something huge and get a cover shot. You'll be all like, "Yeah he rips, but he won't last because of his liftyle. " Then you'll go to your local shop and they'll push his signature shoes, jeans, art tees and decks on you.He has been featured in several skate videos and video games, and has also done a lot with Vans shoes.http://www.grindtv.com/athlete/dustin_dollin/1060/bio/
