“I seek to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to feel the power of longboard skateboarding. It’s a sport that is as hard as one wants to make it. It’s a sport that depends solely on an inner drive to do better and be better – than no one else except yourself. It is a sport that lets you be creatively free and utterly technical at the same time. It teaches patience and perseverance like no traditional team sport can. My goal is to share this feeling with the world along with the freedom and sense of community skating has provided me.”

Just dropped this video on my YouTube channel from some epic runs at the 2019 KnK Longboard camp featuring my good buddies Antoine Carlotti, Mirko Paoloni, and Mariano Conti. Enjoy!
This video is all about dialing in the best longboard bushings for your set-up. Longboard dancing is all about flow, and bushings have a huge influence on your overall style. During this video I spent nearly 8 hours testing different shapes, durometers, and formulas of RipTide bushings in my Paris Truck Co 180mm 50º V3s. I learned a lot about what works for me and what might work for you as well.
Just released a limited run of “Longboarding is a vibe” hoodies with my good friends at New Flag Design and we’re already over half sold out! This run is limited to 50 pre-orders and after that - they’re gone for good.
