You skate pretty hard, high stuff and challenging DIYs. Do you ever get mental blocks and if yes, how do you overcome them?
Of course, I’m human. Just don’t quit. Baby steps, find what works for you. The secret is to keep trying.
You live in Vancouver. How does your skate season look like? How’s fall and winter over there?
Yes, I’m moving to a new place in Vancouver this December. Late spring, summer and fall are wonderful in BC. Winter is a lot of cold rain, and few options for covered spaces. You make do with what you have, bring a squeegee, a torch and some patience. I try to travel in the winter when I can.
You had a great cover in the Quadzilla zine and now a pro boot. Was there an “I made it” moment or do you have other roller skate dreams?
I had a great year as far as accomplishments. I am proud of how hard I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I’m grateful and lucky to have met supportive people who allowed me to showcase my skating and a pro product. But there was no moment or thought like that though. Roller skate dreams-wise, the pro-boot was like my Grand Slam goal. I’d love to travel and film and meet more pool-coping, and vert roller skaters. Travel, skate and explore.
