About me
I am an oddball, sort of crazy guy with one simple goal, scootering. Scootering has been my life since I picked it up in 2008, and nothing motivates me more than to land a trick that makes me feel accomplished in myself. I have lived on the streets, been in mental facilities, and frankly been through a lot of hell. But the truth is that we all live in our own hell, and I want to inspire others to be the best version of themselves regardless of what people may say to belittle or doubt them.

What's your 'Scooter Goal'? (what do you want to achieve in your scooter career)?
