Where do you like skating? Anywhere, Everywhere.
Why did you go Veg? The last thing an animal feels is fear and pain and to know that not only are you a part of it, but also consuming it just kills me inside plus I’m indian and my forefathers used to be vegetarian..i just turned it up a notch.
What is your favorite thing to skate and why? Ledges, i just love getting air off those ledges and when u stick the landin, that feeling is amazing.
What shoe are you skating in now? Supra Thumbprints in Black or Black Vans Half Cabs . They aren’t vegan, but i just turned vegan for about 3 months, & I’m tryna skate off all my old non-vegan kicks…will be buying new ones on my pay day. yaay!
Or just say whatever you want about skating Veg… I skate longer during skate sessions compared to my boys who eat meat..i never skated like this before, you really can’t stop.. when u know that somehow ure saving animals & the environment u just really feel like batman or something..like on a superhero level..plus my girlfriend’s really supportive of me skating and i got her to turn vegetarian, so… for me thats just a plus 🙂
