Favourite Pro Skater: I have fav pro from each generation of skating starting with jay adam(zephyr team 70s) what a geeza rad style like he was surfing the streets and mega agressive with his skating, next would be lance mountain (the bone brigade 80s) everyone from the bones brigade was rad but lance always stuck out to me as he was always having fun and was wacky he skated because he loved to skate and hang with his friends and do stupid things just aslong as he was having fun, and more recent would have to be geoff rowley british skater and is so sick once again skate because he loves it not for compotision just purly for the fun of it.
What skating means to me: Skating means freedom, expression, and being a scallyway for as long as i can, when i first started skating we where looked at as the outsiders, miscrents we all where and all of us are so different but yet the same we all come together and pushed eachother and always had fun had doing it we had respect for eachother knowing that we all have such different style in the way we skate, dress but know one cared we excepted each other no matter how good you are it didnt matter . i have always felt skating teaches you about life how when you fall down you get back up and do it again so is life, it strengthens you both mentally and physically.

What does skating mean to you? Skating to me means freedom, it helps me forget about all my problems. Had a rough day at work, I’ll go skate. Struggling with a personal problem, I’ll go skate and it clears my head. It keeps me active and gives me a reason to go outside and through skating I have met my greatest of friends. Skateboarding to me is just the definition of happiness and feeling free.
Profession: For my job I am a barista for Costa and just have a love for coffee, I’ve been in this line for work for about a year now and honestly can’t imagine myself doing anything else.
Bonus: In my life outside of skating I dabble in music and love creating art. I draw most nights and whenever I get the chance I’m creating beats and trying to perfect a music style that would appeal to many. I’m a huge photography nerd and love everything camera and dark imagery related which you’ll be able to see on my main instagram @the_real_edgy_kid

When did you start skating: I started getting back into skating properly after a 6 month break on the 19th January 2023, which rekindled my love for skating.
Skate setup: 8.5 Bungabled deck, Spitfire wheels
Favourite local park: West Park in Hull, as it's the closest park to where I live, and it's where I've learnt the most, and made the most friends.
Favourite pro skater: Yuto Horigome. He is so advanced in the tricks he does, such as the Yutornado which first made it's appearance in SLS, the nollie 270 nose, 270 out. unfathomable skill from that guy.
What does skating mean to you? Skating is so much more than a sport, more than commradery believe it or not, and it's more than the friends you make along the way. Skating is my coping mechanism. My mental health hasn't always been the great, and like everyone, I've had my fare share of hardships. But no matter where I was, no matter what I was doing, skating has always been there for me, it's the only consistant outlet I've had, and I'll always be in debt of it. Despite me being apart of the wonderful Bunga Flow Team, I'll forever remain humble, as I was never in this skating business to be sponsored, but I'd kick myself if I didn't take up this amazing opportunity.
Profession: I am currently employed by one of Europe's largest footwear retailers 'DEICHMANNS', although it's not worth the hype 😂
Bonus: Similar to my buddy and fellow team mate Klaus, I am also into photography! always building a portfolio of my work. So much so in fact, I had the opportunity to photograph my Aunties wedding mid 2023, and it was a hit!
