Explain the feeling you had the first time you put on skates.

Freedom

What is your inspiration to keep skating?

In 2002 I was one of the top park skaters in the world but in a freak accident, I was paralized from the shoulders down. The thought of losing what I had worked so hard to aquire was unacceptable to me and helped push me through recovery to be able to blade again.

We truly believe skating makes a better world. How do you think skating makes the world a better place? 

Common interests shared by others lets us overcome adversities.

How do you keep progressing and reinventing yourself?

I’m the head coach for Revolution Ski & Blade. We combine freeski park and halfpipe riding with aggresive inline skating. With the crossover, theres endless possibilites for creativity and innovation. 

What’s the most helpful tip you want to share with any skater?
Rollerblading hurts, wear protective gear. 

Imagine a world filled with animals who can skate. If you could be any of those animals what would you be and why? 

A cat! They always land on their feet.
