What wheels do you ride?
I started skating in 2021 on roller skates and quickly fell in love with it. I currently ride the Lana Pro model Chuffed boot which I’ve been loving.
I also recently got into blading about a year ago. I decided to do that to reinvigorate my skating by getting the thrill of being a beginner again. I have a few set-ups there: the Mesmer Levi’s as my flat setup, the Them 909 Brain Dead that I ride as a ti-rocker, and a pair of Razor’s that are my anti setup.
It’s nice to have those set-ups depending on whether I want to focus on landing lots of grinds or just enjoy the feeling of skating around on flat.
What brought you out to the Brooklyn Quad Comp '25?
I competed in the Brooklyn Quad Comp back in 2023. I really love the competition and summer in New York is always a great time. You’re melting but it’s worth it.
What's your favorite part about being on the East Coast to skate?
I especially love the feeling of getting to ride around the streets of New York and find spots to skate everywhere. In California, you usually have to be very targeted about what street spots you’re going to go to. You drive there, skate that one spot until you get in the car and go to another one.
New York feels like a giant playground because you can just keep skating and find skate spots everywhere. It’s invigorating.
And the vibe of the city is great too - the best food, great skating scene, awesome skaters. So it’s great energy and the Brooklyn Quad Comp is a great way to bring quad skaters together too, especially because we don’t have as many events these days.
