Pushing Colorado Since Day One
How many years have you been pushing in Denver? On and off about 10 years now.

Best thing about Denver is my home, the weather, you get to experience seasons which is rad.

The best spots in Denver are the ones with no cracks or crackheads.

Denver is best know for rails, stairs, and rad downtown spots.

For someone who's never skated in Denver. Where is the first place you would tell them to go? Denver park to start off, then skate downtown.

Go to spot for Food: H burger or Boney's BBQ.

Top 5 Reasons you love where you live: My home, the skating, the weather, awesome friends, and i love living the downtown Denver life.

Security/Cops in Denver are good for... Cops are always there when you don't want them to be. And never there when you need them.

Describe Denver in one word: #Busy

Who is currently Pushing skateboarding in Denver and the skate community? All the skateshops here are pushing skating, 303, Satellite, The Denver Shop, and Community. They definitely push skating.

Skateboarding in Denver will always be one god damn hell of a show!

Something Denver has that nowhere else does? My bed.

Favorite spot in Denver: Thats a tough question, but I'm gonna have to say the downtown spots that are busts. Because that can help me just start going for it right off the bat like barge style, and sometimes it works and thats a rad feeling.

If it wasn't for Denver I wouldn't be good looking.

Best thing to come out of the Denver skate scene? Angel, Windsor, David and Trevor Uriona. All bowses.

Funniest thing you've ever seen happen while skating in Denver? We were skating in Cherry Creek and Angel tried to punt a soccer ball really far and he hit our filmer friend, Bucky, right square in the nose point blank! And it all happened so fast that Buckys reflex tried to block the ball like 5 seconds after it happened! That was pretty damn funny!!

Do you remember the first time you left home to skate elsewhere? Where did you go? Yes, I went to Kansas CIty and stayed at the mansion aka Tim Chilen's house. Those KC trips I would do changed my life. Thanks to all the Chilens from Coco to Max aka @donehavinfun follow him on Instagram!

Who from Denver do you owe it all to? I guess 303 and Satellite for letting me grab grip sometimes and get some packages sent there sometimes. The homies and any couch I ever slept on.

Things you miss most when you're away? Being able to drive my cars and ride my motorcycle. And my girl, my dog, Elvis. And just being in charge of what I do and no matter what I can always just go home if I want to.

Best memory from growing up skating in Denver? Well i grew up in Oklahoma but Denver is my home now and just watching David Reyes getting better and better to where now he is pretty much a bowse!
