I'm a rollerblader from the Bronx. I started skating at 19. Most people start younger
than that but its cool. I used to be a skate boarder and what got me into skating
was really just being at the skate park at the right time. It was about to be summer
and Ramelle Knight was skating at throgs neck skate park with a bunch of other
guys, i didn't know who he was at the time so it was crazy cause i wasn't used to
seeing dudes doing tricks on skates and spinning onto grinds n stuff. So i was like
wtf. I just sat there and watched them skate. Till this day i still remember what
made me go to flat line and buy skates. I was standing on top on the ramp and
Joaquin Flecher does a 450 back farv after like 2 tries. At that moment I knew I was
going to roller blade forever. Copped me some razor cult 7's and the rest is history.
June 14th made it 2 years that I've been blading. Competed at the Bittercold
Showdown 2010 which was amazing plus it was my first time going so i was
hyped. Drank every night, skated all day it was dopeee. Also went to my first Last
man standing comp last summer which was crazy also. I had a lot of fun. I want to
thank all the people that help me progress my skating. Roll 4 life...

"I started skating at 18 years old. I used to bmx then one day I went to Throgs Neck High school skate park
in the Bronx and saw a few pro skaters there like Ramelle Knight and others doing grinds and catching
some air and ever since that day I started blading and just kept on trying and move forward with my skating
and never gave up."
