I grew up in Brisbane, Ca, though I now live In San Mateo.

I’ve been skating for nearly 11 years, as my mom used to skate and had me on a board from an early age.

My favorite spot at the moment is San Mateo city hall, as I’ve been having some pretty fun rainy day seshes there.

My setup is mob grip on an April Skateboards deck with Indy Hollows, Indy soft bushings, NFG 54 Vee wheels, and Bones Reds.

My favorite skater is probably Shaun Baptista, who comes to my local parks sometimes and destroys them.

My other hobbies include mountain biking and skiing.

I’m From the bay area and currently residing in Oakland.

​

I have been skating for almost 4 years.

​

Right now im riding a riedell 336 boot on avanti mag plates with stock trucks. nfg mfg quad stock wheels with bionic toe stops and cib slide blocks. 

​

Although I’m local to Oakland, my favorite spots are the Fremont and Newark skateparks. They were so friendly to me as a baby skater back in 2018 and ive grown a lot there. 

​

All of my influences come from my friends and local skaters. I got back in skating as an adult with the help of @babygirldee 

​

Another hobby of mine is that I am a collective member at Bound Together Bookstore. An anti profit, volunteer run bookstore in the lower haight that carries specifically literature and theory in radical leftist / anarchist politics.

I’m from east palo alto grew up there and recently moved to the modesto area.
I’ve been skating for about 12 years now.
Favorite spot would be skating anywhere in the city
My current setup is a Paradigm skateboard size 8.6, independent trucks and some
55 mm NFG 95A formulas (been loving the way these feel ever since i got them wether i’m out in the streets or just at a local park they feel grippy enough and still able to power slide comfortably.
Favorite skaters would be frankly villani and jimmy wilkins just gotta have both street n transition skating in there.
Definitely was influenced by jam douglas a redwood head prob has one of the cleanest style i’ve ever seen and overall a great individual to watch skate!
Mhmm been trying to learn how to draw more on my free time shits hard sometimes aha.
A quote for me… Stay out the mix n enjoy what makes you happy.

Current sponsors for me would Be NFG and my homies board brand called Paradigm

Where are you from, where are you now?

Born and currently based in Oakland, CA! 

How long have you skated for? 

I got my first pair of skates in September 2020 and I started park skating in January 2021. 

Favorite spot? 

To skate? Newark Skatepark because I love me some smooth concrete. In general? Brooklyn Basin in Oakland and Indian Rock Park in Berkeley are pretty sweet. 

Whats your current set up? 

I’m riding on vegan Bonts Parkstars with sunlite plates, Bigfoot slide blocks, Penny 3 inch trucks, and NFG 54mm teardrop wheels. I recently got and am currently breaking in some grey Riedell 336 skates with an Avanti Magnesium plate and Wildbones plate sliders that I hope to dedicate for the skateparks while I use my Bonts for the streets. 

favorite skaters/influences? 

A lot of folks on this team continue to inspire me! I met Mo and Victoria at the Fremont Skatepark when I first started park skating, and others I came across on instagram first. Man, the awe I felt watching all of these skaters shred and realizing how limitless quad skating is! I specifically remember seeing Abri (@abrisk8s) do a top soul in a skate edit, and that ended up becoming my fave grind. 

Also heavily inspired by the rollerblading community. I blade a little and picked it up last summer too. 

Hobby other than skating? 

I dabble in baking and pen & ink drawing. I also love playing Tetris 99. My guilty pleasure is laying in bed and binge watching TV shows all day.

My birth took place in a city called Fountain Valley, Orange County. I now stay close to the waters inner Bay Area.

I picked up skating from my older sister when I was as young as 8 and started taking it serious when I landed my first kick flip at the age of 10.

Favorite spot I just went recently for the first time is Jefferson HS in south city.

I got NFGs size 60 for those rough streets, got a polar board with the wheel Wells cut out for my wheel bite prevention, got the Bronson bearings with the ace trucks size 149s and indy
risers because I used to skate indy trucks. Mob grip tape. All from Redcurbs skateshop btw.

It’s hard to pick a favorite rider, I like to look to my peers within the inner circle for inspiration. But I do love Oski’s style for the graceful flow through some transition, also Milton for the street because he attacks spots with all the speed.

I looked up to my homeboy Niko for his steez + trick selection my whole teenage life as a skater.
