I long have you been skateboarding? Do you do it professionally?
I wish I could. I just skate for fun. Over ten years now.
Still, that's awesome! And it's cool to hear that you make custom boards. You sell the boards afterwards?
Yes. There is a skate park near my house in Maryland. The business took off soon as I started it.
Good for you! I remember reading about a 11,000 square foot skatepark somewhere in Hampden.
It's awesome. Kids are really responsible too. Never any trouble.
Yeah, it's crazy to see how many adults get angry at skateboarders when they're just minding their business. I'd get it if they were destroying property or something, but how often does that happen?
Right. I just finished a design that I think I want to keep for myself.
Speaking of which, is there such a thing as collectible skateboards? Like, maybe classic skateboards that people show off instead of riding?
Of course. riding them can ruin the design unless they are extremely well made. Wheels and mechanics can be replaced.
