Kachinsky, the clean-cut Midwesterner with a pleasant demeanor and a limitless supply of corny jokes, takes on a different persona when it comes to attacking daunting handrails all over the world. With the focus of a prizefighter engaged in the bout of his life, he doesn't quit until he gets what he wants, taking repeated slams if necessary. He's made the top 5 in each of his three XG Street appearances, topping out with bronze in 2010. With a style that's equal parts tech and manly, he likes to use the entire course and tries to deliver something unique whenever possible.
