Where do you like skating? I love skating anywhere and everywhere, from gritty to perfectly smooth I love it all!
Why did you go Veg? I literally went veg as Yoga pointed me in that direction to feel better so I could skate more and heal faster from chucking, the rest of the reasons followed, that was 16 years ago
What is your favorite thing to skate and why? This is so so tough but I would have to say a Wooden Mini Ramp. Five to Six feet is my favorite so you can really lock into smith grinds and also get some good air. I could skate a mini all day, nothing beats a session with some good friends on a solid mini ramp!
What shoe are you skating in now? I am skating the Indy Vans pro cupsole shoe in Hemp!! Love them, for me Vans has the best grip ever and makes a bunch of hemp / canvas / synthetic shoes that really rule it!
Say whatever you want about skating Veg. Skateboarding to me has always been about self expression and passion, this only permeates into the rest of my life. skating has led me to become more creative in the ways I can grow in sharing and helping my larger family, connecting with more people and spreading the message of health, passion and compassion. As a side bonus I feel and heal way better than before!
