What’s next for you in 2024?

Moving to California is definitely on the list. Staying healthy (in all aspects) and keeping good habits. I just want to enjoy whatever situation I find myself in.

What does skateboarding mean to you?

I feel like it’s a mental exercise just as much as physical. It can be pure pleasure or it can be a test on my whole damn being. However I wanna look at it, it gives me so much fulfillment and I fucking love it.
