Ray Barbee hails from San Jose, California. A cutting-edge figure who applied freestyle tricks to street skating, it was Barbee’s friendship with Activist
Chris Pastras that brought him to the WeSC family. Like
Jason Lee, he too is an embodiment of life-after-skateboard - today he balances the same wicked style he’s carried since the 80’s along with being a husband and father to two children. His part in breakthrough video Ban This! defined the philosophy of urban skateboarding.
Now barbee is equally known for his music, having released genre stretching albums on the Galaxia record label such as 2003's debut EP Triumphant Procession, 2005's In Full View, 2009's Ray Barbee meets the Mattson 2 and 2009's Blk Top Project (Changing Lanes)
