What got you into skateboarding?

I got into skateboarding when I was 5, my older cousin gave me a 411 tape with Steve Berra and Koston skating DTLA and it just caught my interest and then I started begging my dad for a board and at the time we weren’t doing the best financially, so my older cousin who had given me the 411 tapes bought me my first complete .it were a Bam Margera element HeartaGram board with some Indy stage 11s and some zero bipolar wheels sickest board to start with!

 

What is your skate scene like in your city?

The skate scene in my city is kinda gnarly because our town is infested with pricks who just want to fuck with skaters but it also filled with some of the sickest dudes to the crew I skate with kills it !! And there lots of history in San Bernardino to with spot like the city hall brick sets and the fountain quarter pipe to the famous ledges at Cajon high school the only good thing is that cops rarely fuck with us here

 

What is you to go trick to start your sesh?

I go to if I am skating a rail is usually back lip or if we are skating stairs back 360 is always fun, I’m not the best at ledges but I can do a front krook alright

 

Do you feel skateboarding has changed your life? How?

Skating has changed my life tremendously and I feel like it’s kept me away from the bullshit in this world I grew up in a pretty bad area with a lot of bad influence like drugs and homies trying to get me into shit but I always just turned to skate to keep me on my shit

 

Do you prefer watching skate videos on social media or buying it? Why?

If I could buy skate videos shops always need the support and it is sick to own your collection of skate tapes

 

 

What is the gnarliest trick you have ever done? How did you feel when you landed it?

I feel like my gnarliest trick was done at the Og park in Rialto and it was back 270 tail 270 shuv out down the hubba and I was so stoked rolling away

 

Tell us a little bit about your local skate shop & what they do for the skateboard scene?

My local shop is rising above and Rey kills it for the Rialto/San Bernardino area he always hooks up the kids and is one of my sponsors too

 

What is your daily routine before you go shred?

I usually watch a skate video or something and then eat and stretch so I don’t pull anything and that’s pretty much it

 

Any inspiring words you want to tell the next generation of skaters?

If I can tell anything to the next generation, it’s don’t try to impress everyone with style and life choices that aren’t your own go skate eat shit a lot and get these fucking clips!!!!
