ONE THING EVERY SKATER SHOULD KNOW:
The rule that you dedicate yourself to when skateboarding/longboarding like, never give up, push the limits, be creative, ride every damn day, be yourself and create your own style and you apply them to everyday “real” life, not only you will be a great rider but also a good person.

DREAM SKATE DESTINATION:
Australia, California, New York, Korea, Brasil…the list goes on.

THREE FAVORITE SKATERS:

The Go Longboard series from Original Skateboards always makes me dream.
