[Taylor Phelps, 36, Cardinal]

1 year after the tragic passing of Cardinal, Kickflip, Skeletor, Bobbitt, Piston, and Steam have a conversation on what that day was like and the outpouring of love and support from F3 Nation afterwards. Listen to the entire episode to hear a few of Cardinal's Name-o-Rama's and the audio from his memorial video.
