It's about someone with a mission. Not just making things for yourself and to have fun someone who can inspire others to start skateboarding ,that's ideal professional skateboarder to me.I think being professional is to do something for others.
How do you choose things?
I'm always on my board pushing around So I usually don't want to carry too muchI don't need so many things. So when I choose what to have on me. I keep in mind that it has to be something that lasts.I choose design that I'd like for a long time. I think I naturallychoose something that I'd never be over with.Something tough.Things that don't wear out ,Never gets broken or ripped intentionally choose that kind of stuff.I personally like things that I can use for a long time.
What does authentic mean to you?
I think authenticity is something that's real.Not someone else's. The thing itself.The very person.When you see that person or thing, you know that's original.You realize that the person or the thing influenced the things that came after.I can see the power.You know it's authentic and distinct.
