10qs: Max Shipley

 

Max was an easy choice to add to the Knife Party Skateboards team for a myriad of reasons. Max loves to skateboard and he shows it in his skating. He is always having fun. Nor is he going to out skate 99% of the kids are the skatepark he is having more fun than all of them as well because of how much he loves skateboarding. He is so energetic and his energy spreads to everyone at the session. No one can have a bad session when Max is around. Even on off days, I have had he will not let me get down or hang my head. It’s not on his nature his love for skating and to see others love skating is infectious. As far as his skating is concerned his consistency is second to none. When Max is on, he is robotic. Everything trick is done with precision and ease. Max is rad. We are happy to have him as part of the Knife Party Skateboards Family. —Jeremy Vincent
