Fingerboarding since: 2021
Location: California

Favorite thing about fingerboarding: I love that with fingerboarding the possibilities of tricks and how you do them are completely endless!

How you got started: I used to play around with tech decks a little bit when I was younger in the early 2000s and eventually I stopped and focused more on skateboarding. Fast forward to 2021, I was at a skateshop and I seen a pro fingerboard for the first time ever and I got it and used it and everything changed. I had never used a wood fingerboard or one with bearings. From there I had to know everything about fingerboards and I never looked back.

Other hobbies: skateboarding, building things like Lego and other things with my son.

Message to the new generation: don’t stay in a bubble. Try new things and don’t be worried about what others might think. If you think it’s cool, then chances are alot of other people think it’s cool too.

Favorite music: Metallica, Larry June, slayer, blink 182, arcade fire, there are to many to name haha.

Favorite Books: Thrasher mag, Plies mag

Favorite Movies: way too many good movies out there! Maybe ill go with a genre of movies, how about comedy movies.
Step brothers, Superbad, Grind, American Pie 2, Tommy boy.

Favorite shows: breaking bad, avatar the last air bender, stranger things, the office, severance, SpongeBob.

Fingerboard setup: Blcny 34mm room service mold deck, Blackriver trucks, blistered wheels, simulation tape, monorails board rails.

Favorite blistered wheels: any g4 urethane

Why choose blistered wheels: well there are tons of different unique looking options of blistered wheels, one of the things I love about the urethane wheels is that it is just grippy enough where my board responds how I like it to respond! Meaning i slide when I want to slide and don’t slide when I don’t want to. They are all around incredible wheels.
