Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from and how did fingerboarding come into your life?
Im from the bay area. Fingerboarding came into my life just like any other person, starting with techdecks as a little kid. Later on i started to get the pro tech decks and it went up from there.
Is skateboarding part of your life at all, and how does it relate to fingerboarding for you?
I never really got to heavy into skateboarding but i do cruise around some times and it is cool to try tricks i do on the fingerboard.
Who were some of your earliest inspirations in skating or fingerboarding, and how did they influence your style?
My biggest earliest inspiration was David jones and still is my inspiration. He made fingerboarding so fun and i think he is the one who started this journey for me.
What was your first setup like, and what companies or riders stood out to you at the time?
My first pro setup was a pro techdeck which was really cool at the time.
What keeps you motivated and coming back to it?
What keeps me motivated is that i really love the hobby and even want to make it a job. While im still in highschool i hope to make my own brand this summer. Im not a really confident person and making this fingerboard account is another step for me so i hope i can really make it big.
Tell us about your current setup and your favorite tricks to do.
My current setup is a 34mm unique deck with dynamic trucks and caramel wheels. My favorite tricks to do are front pop shuvits.
How would you describe the fingerboarding community from your own experience?
It seems like a really friendly environment with no judgment so i recommend anyone to try fingerboarding.
How do you feel about the cost of fingerboarding products today?
Really expensive, but you can buy some brands that are not as costly. Make sure to not cheap out on your setups π€£
