Judah B. from Skokie, Illinois!

I love skateboarding, it has always been a part of my life since my brother first taught me when I was five years old. Now, I am sponsored by my local shop and get clips daily. Aside from Skateboarding, I also did gymnastics for ten years of my life and went on to coach gymnastics for some time. Teaching skateboarding is the perfect mix of both, I would love to be able to pass down tips and tricks that have helped me become a better skater, and I find it so exciting to see progression and growth in people, and be able to do what I love, instead of washing dishes or serving at a restaurant, sounds like a dream.

Damien C. from Chicago, Illinois!
