I started out riding in Calgary, AB, in junior high. It gave me and my friends a sense of freedom that many other sports didn't provide. Longboards acted not only as our transportation, but also as a way to push ourselves and each other on our own terms. The amazing community, and the limitless possibilities for progression, have made it one of the most important pieces of my life. I have yet to find another sport that provides the same sense of calm, clarity, and yet total excitement that downhill gives me.

PARKtek has so much passion for the sport of downhill and the boards they make. It's easy to see that the result is amazing decks that are perfectly tailored to each style of riding. That aside, my favourite part about PARKtek is the community that they have created and fostered. It is built on purely fun and passion for board sports. It really has become a family and welcomes anyone who shares our love of longboarding.

My favorite board is definitely The Good Copy. Matt Rae designed it as the ultimate speed machine. The minimal swing weight in addition to the flawless concave, makes it unparalleled on the race track!
