Where do you like skating? Street spots and parks around Perth.
Why did you go Veg? I read a blog post by a vegan in the local hardcore scene here in Perth. Every word he wrote made sense and I finally realized that my actions were not in line with my beliefs. I decided that I could no longer live the life I was living if I was to set a positive example in this world.
What is your favorite thing to skate and why? I’ll skate anything with my friends. But some of the funnest skates I’ve had have been surfing sidewalks with my friends on homemade planks. I’m heavily inspired by 80s street style so I will happily skate a curb haha. If I can throw out a cheeky fastplant or boneless variation on something then I’m happy.
What shoe are you skating in now? Etnies Jameson Eco 2
Or just say whatever you want about skating Veg… This blog has been such a good read for the past couple of years. I would have never known the abundance of vegan skate shoes without it. Thanks!
PS. Check out my mates 60 – 80’s inspired company Blah Skateboards. And also check this straight edge vegan band from home called Truthseeker, they’ve only got one demo but their shows get crazy.

Nice!
