When did skateboarding change your life?
Probably when I started at 14 years old. I remember watching my neighbors skate and I was fascinated ever since.
What is your favorite trick and why?
Pop shuv foot plant underflip. it’s a cool trick that I’m fortunate enough to be able to do still as an amputee
With skateboarding in the Olympics, do you think skateboarding can prostitute itself or to lose the true essence?
No, if anything I think it’ll gain essence skateboarding is over 60 years old I think it should have been in the Olympics years ago.
When was the first time you won a skateboard contest & how did you feel?
Never been in one but I would love to start competing in adaptive contests.
Skateboarding and music are very connected to each other, what do you like to listen to while skateboarding?
Hip hop or face-paced rock for sure.
Do you prefer to shred in the streets or skateparks? Why?
Either but if I had to choose probably parks, I like to transition it’s easier on the leg lol
Have you ever thought about giving up skateboarding? Why?
After my motorcycle accident in 2017 after the recovery process, I tried skating again and I remember feeling so discouraged I had lost all my tricks I couldn’t even run and throw the board down. it wasn’t until 5 months ago I gave it another shot I remember doing a boardslide on a curb and just feeling so pumped like when you land a new trick for the first time but I had done thousands of times before as a normal person now with the prosthetic its kind of awesome relearning all my tricks a different way because of my body and being able to have that feeling of euphoria when landing them.
What inspires you to shred and evolve every day? fame or just fun?
Fun meditation escape from everything you’re feeling in daily life. Just the board concrete.
What is your daily routine before you go shred?
Eat decent breakfast, jam, text homies and go skate lol
Any inspiring words you want to tell the next generation of skaters?
if you want it bad enough to treat it like the oxygen you need to survive.
