OUR RIDERS

Setup Usually at 8.5 Dagger board my prom model with some Ace trucks 54 shark twisted formula and shivers. Skate bearings.

And the type of skateboarding I do I’d like to call All train. I’d like to dabble in a little bit of everything.

And I don’t see any difference in our wheels there just as good as any other will if not better.

And I’m going on my 20th year skateboarding now.

The reason why I skate is because it’s only time in my life where I don’t feel not adequate or not enough it actually gives me the opposite filling of that.

And when I’m not skateboarding, I’m usually team managing for Dagger skateboards and working on my social media content.

My future goal is simple live very beautiful life travel see new things see new places, etc.

And shout outs I would like to give one to my mother for making everything possible and for David Sherwill for giving me this opportunity.

My board Off Grid Skateboard size 8.5 I ride size 54mm Iceman Formula Shark wheels with the Shiver beatings and Shiver trucks size 150mm.

My type of skateboarding is street. I love to ride ditches or water reservoirs.

Little Rock’s don’t stop me anymore,I noticed when I ride over rocks the rocks shoot out and don’t stop me. Rougher ground is way easier to roll over. Big cracks and lines on the sidewalk don’t bother me as much anymore.

I have been skateboarding since I moved to America. I have been skating for 23 years.

I started skateboarding because I thought it looked cool. I was playing soccer at the time I was introduced to skateboarding. I quite playing soccer and started skateboarding because I didn’t like being on a soccer team. I didn’t like how I had to sit out when the games were on.

I am a family man, my daughter and my son are my world. I mainly take care of my new baby. She is almost 9 months old.

My future goals are to grow with Shark Wheel. My goal is to come out with a video part for Shark Wheel riding only Shark Wheels. Besides skateboarding, my future goals is to live a happy life.

Yeah I would like to shout out my family, my fiancé, my friends for sticking by my side when I was down. I want to shout out to the Founders of Shark wheel! So thankful @sharkwheel exists, especially Zack Hibbs for believing in me.

I first started surfing, but in Cuba there are only waves in the winter season and hurricanes and I had to find a sport that was similar to surfing and I found skateboarding.

Now I'm into surfskating, I like to build different types of models. Long Island Mossel 33″ Surfskate, Size: 33" x 10", Wheelbase: 17.5" Wb, Trucks: LEAN Genesis Surfskate Trucks 160m, Shark Wheel 72mm, 78a DNA Transparent Amber

I like a little bit of everything, bowl and street.

You can skate in all types of scenarios.

21 years between surfing and skateboarding. Surfskate 1 year and a half.

Because it is what I love and I disconnect from the reality of everyday life, it is my passion and way of life.

I surf, photography.

Being able to live doing what I like.Now my goals for the future are to be able to make a living from what I do. Being able to do my school. Continue evolving and growing in what I do. What is your future aspiration for yourself? Or what do you want to do when you grow up?

When I entered my first in-person surf skate contest in August of 2023. That made me truly see the difference between surfskate and skateboarding. Skateboarding is much more high energy, adrenaline driven, and challenging, which seemed like more of my vibe. Turns out it was.

Currently, for skateboarding, Lifeline Deck, Independent Trucks, Shark Wheel Iceman Formula 54mm/97a, Sticky Grip tape. For cruising, Shark Wheel cruiser board, Shiver Trucks, Shark Wheel DNA 72mm.

Transition and pool skating; currently leaning into vert.

While cruising, I can easily roll over small debris like pebbles and small sticks compared to any other wheel. I don’t have to worry about eating shit as much when I have them on my board. At parks, I can easily roll over cracks and rough patches if there are some, like the gnarly crack on the J Wall at Kona Skatepark in Jacksonville, Florida.

Technically, for about a year. I was only cruising on a surf skate for 2 years prior to actually skateboarding. You ride a surf skate completely different, and skateboarding is much more technical and challenging. There’s truly a difference between surf skate and skateboarding, it’s odd how some put the two in the same category, when they’re completely different.

It’s therapy for me. It blocks out all the outside noise and stress. Without it, I’ll go insane. I love how it’s just as mentally challenging as it is physical. Gotta love that adrenaline rush when I’m dropping in on something crazier than what I’m used to.

I have a social media presence on mainly TikTok and Instagram, so I make videos for those platforms, mainly videos that include wheel shots, which is how I gained my social media following. I help out with social media for Kona Skatepark and Kona Clubhouse, which is Kona Skatepark’s music venue. I’m also an honorary member of The Old Man Skate Crew, which includes Buck Smith and Donny Griffin.

Currently working on creating a charity for children with autoimmune diseases.

My grandma and mom for always telling me I can to anything I set my mind to, Martin Ramos for willing to give me skateboarding tips and teaching me about skateboarding history at the Worlds Oldest Skatepark, Tim Wood for seeing something great in me and pushing me to become the best version of myself, The Old Man Skate Crew, which includes Kona Legends from the 80s, such as Buck Smith and Donny Griffin, and for always encouraging me to rip even harder, Rob of Vert Jungle for inviting me to Skate Safari and introducing me to another level off skateboarding out in California, John Siefert, my first skate coach, and Kona Skatepark for becoming my home away from home.

I saw an older guy do an ollie and I was fascinated.

I have several depending on the terrain.

ALL TERRAIN

They are simply the most dynamic for doing tricks in rough & alternative terrain (dirt, grass, rock).

25 yearsish.

It’s a great adventure!

Work, Adventure in Nature, & Off Grid Homesteading.

Adventure more with my skateboard and build my property up.

My partner Nicole, Potatoflop and the Cruel Kindness crew, Blake Housenga at Small Change and anyone else who has been there along the way.

I wanted to feel free during the COVID era. I saw a father and son on surfskates and got hooked on ‘em ever since.

Carver c5 trucks, Shark Wheel 58mm, 9.5 shaped deck.

I surfskate the streets, bombing down hills, crushing around the city and flowing in the bowl.

The difference I feel when I skate with Shark Wheels is that my slides feel controlled and feel locked in while being light.

I’ve been skating around 4 years.

I skateboard because I feel free. The feeling of flying through the asphalt is the best.

I spend time with family and friends, jamming and praising a new song, while watching our pigeons fly in the sky dancing.

My future goals is to have a land where we can all unite together, surrounded with all the blessings we have been given upon and live to the fullest. I would also like to have my own brand of skateboard decks and apparel. I want to also make a landscape skatepark for everyone to skate.

I would like to give thanks to my family for always being who they are and supporting me throughout my journey. Thank you, Almighty!

I have an 8.25 (burnkit), I have grind king trucks and shark wheels.

I was introduced to skateboarding by my older brother. I picked up tricks quickly and was influenced by Japan culture.

I skate street, freestyle and love ramps and making up new skate tricks daily.

Shark Wheels let me confidently skate at the spots you would never think of trying with normal wheels. The softness also lets me take in impact much easier.

I've been skateboarding for 10 years.

I do it as my job now, but still and always have done it to be free and get stuff off my mind.I just live my life. I adventure out in the world with my friends and hope that I can travel soon so l can be at events, competitions and go pro.

I just live my life and hangout with my friends/roomates, currently struggling.

To finally be successful and have a good influence on these skateboarders.

I would love to shout out David Hafsteinsson and Ryan O'rell.

The freedom and creativity.

Wknd deck, Indy trucks, Shark street wheels, Shiver bearings.

Flatground, stairs.

Softer rolling, more control.

10 years!

Freedom, creativity, development of work ethic and discipline.

BMX, scootering, content :)

Become one of the most influential action sports athletes of all time and bridge the gap between extreme sports.

Shoutout Louie!

Fell in love with it when a friend recommended it to me when I was in high school.

Spooky deck, Tensor trucks, Qwiktruks risers, The Bearing bearing and Shark Wheels

Unique street style.

So smooth!! No vibration.

Started in 1999

The artistic aspects are interesting and cannot be evaluated based on simple ability.

Don't miss strength training at the gym and running.

Many Japanese people don't make money from skateboarding. I want to give dreams to boys.

Wataru Oono. He was the one who first encouraged me to take up skateboarding. Kazuki Asato. He helped me get back into skateboarding after a 10 year hiatus.
