What got you into skateboarding?

Once i saw a skate on exhibition on a store in town, I was 12 years old, i was with my sister and she noticed the expression on my face. Luckily she came home the next morning with the skate as a gift. It was a commercial kind of complete whit an alien graphic. And that’s how it all started.

 

What is your skate scene like in your city?

There is a lot of young skaters, a lot of small crews with their own projects, due to the diversity of street spots you can find all around the country.

 

What is you to go trick to start your sesh?

I always start with a quick warm up, I like to begin the sesh with 50s fakies and nollies.

 

Do you feel skateboarding has changed your life? How?

Yes, it has changed my life. I’ve never imagined any recognition from a brand or even living with this, for a big part of my life. It has given me friends, traveling and knowing paces. I used to study engineering, in geology, if I never skated my life would have been different.

 

What pro skater inspires your skateboarding?

Raul Navarro, Bryan Wenning, Mike Vallely, Gerardo Rivera (nenos), Genaro Lujan and Gabriel de la Mora

 

 

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

Buying, because I started skating in the 2000 and you know the best thing was to see the cover and wishing to own them for your collection, even rewinding the film and having the time to watch the whole thing. I will always rather VHS or DVD over the on-line.

 

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

Sw 360 flip crooked . I felt somewhere between satisfaction and tranquility

 

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

In fact I have a skate store “Versus skate store” recently 10 years old, we support a skate team and were always trying to film and generate skate videos for our memories and the scene. We try to promote and spread skateboarding doing contest, tours, DIYS, and events for us and the scene in Mexico.

 

What is your daily routine before you go shred?

I start always with my family and then work to pay the bills, fortunately my job its continually reuniting me with friends or skaters to chat, watch videos of discuss projects, so at the end of the day we end up skating at the local spot

 

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

I’ll say that making skate videos with your friends it’s worth it, cause any time you see them you will have that taste of happiness that you felt while doing it. Also I feel it’s a shame to do everything so fast and in big measures on line, whenever you put your mind and soul in to a full length skate video you will always remember the spots, that time you got kicked out, that crazy lady, the cool guy and all those stories but in a insta video it’s just another one. I’m just saying more full-length videos with your friends and less posts. That’s what I think for the youth. – TSM  MEDIA
