When I was young I remember my Mom buying me a Bart Simpson fish shaped board for my birthday, and randomly my Nan had a small green cruiser board in her garage, think it was my uncles. Dont ever remember riding the Bart Simpson board but I definitely remember attempting to bomb the small hill out side my Nans on the cruiser, most of the time sat on it.
It all started properly from when my Mom got a job at the gym in Winchester, and there was a skatepark behind it. I was 12 years old and my first setup was United Skates from All Sports, the bearings where soo bad but was hyped. I was 14 when I got my first sponsor (Rubicon Skateboards) a local company from Winchester. Been hooked ever since.
Being older now I've seen a lot of spots and skateparks over the years, now living in Barcelona Im skating some of the best spots in the world. Found this super dope spot not far from the crib with 2 wooden benches in a row with perfect floor and has got to be my best spot at the moment to skate.
