Originally from NYC, Billy O’Neill also know as Fish, made a name for himself in the aggressive inline skating industry in the early 2000s.
He was never a Pro Skater for Razors, but he had some of the better video parts as an amateur then some pro back at the EGO video from Razors. Billy ended up being a PRO for USD skates and later for Shima’s skate company SSM.
