  • 9. What is your favorite skateboarding trick to do?

    Are powerslides considered a trick?

  • 10. Who is your favorite pro skateboarder and why?

    Daewon Song. Almost Round 3 ended up being the first skate video DVD I owned. Dae won me over with his style and ability to translate his technical abilities to transition skating. I was blessed to meet Daewon and film him skate at an Adidas demo in 2023. He is the ideal ambassador for skateboarding and a true professional in every sense of the word. He took the time for conversations with everyone, signed hundreds of autographs, took hundreds of photos, performed many of beloved his blunt flip trick combos, and was genuinely thankful for all of the support over the years of his long career. 

  • 11. What is your dream trick to learn and land?

    Unrealistically would probably have to be a 270 backside noseblunt down a massive handrail. Realistically, I wanna learn frontside flip to lipslide revert in a decent sized bowl in the next year.
