Hey Tigar, always ripping.

What is it about skating that you love?

Something that I love about skating is that you can choose your own style and it can be whatever you want it to be.

In the three years you’ve been skating - what’s your best memory?

My best skate memory was probably when I landed my first ever kick flip because of how excited I got when I landed it.

Definitely one to remember! And your worst slam?

That was probably when I was just skating out in my front yard, tried a front board on my rail then kicked out and face planted.

Ouch. Do you have a favourite skate brand?

A couple of my favourite skate brands are Adidas’s shoes, thunder trucks and spitfire wheels.

Do you have a song you love skating to?

At the moment I don’t have a favorite song to skate to, although Fast and upbeat music is what I like.

What's your best advice to fellow skaters?

My best advice to give to fellow skaters is to just go for it.

Tell us. Do you have any weird or hidden talents?

Sure! I can balance a spoon on my nose for a very long time.

Impressive and so very useful in life! Anything else we should know about you?

Yeah I am always in a good mood and am happy for a chat.

Any shoutouts?

I would like to give a shout out to my mum and dad for the support on my skating!

Thanks Tigar! See you around.

For sure!
