Where do you like skating? Stairs and Transition. I’m constantly injured from throwing myself down stuff but it’s worth it for the ride-away. I’m not great at transition, but doing what I can do on it is super fun.
Why did you go Veg? For the animals first and foremost. I’ve been listening to anarcho-punk music like Conflict and Aus-Rotten for years so that really helped me always have the vegan option in my mind.The health benefits just kinda come with the package haha.
What is your favorite thing to skate and why? Probably a chill five-six stair or five 1/2 miniramp. Minimum danger, maximum fun.
What shoe are you skating in now? The Geoff Rowley Reissue of his vegan shoe. I bought two pairs cause they were on sale but I usually just skate in regular Chuck Taylors.
Or just say whatever you want about skating Veg… It’s the best decision I’ve ever made. It doesn’t affect my skating much, except now I’ll make something to eat beforehand instead of eating greasy fast food on the way to a skate spot haha.
