Show Q&A:
What do you geek out about?: Of course classic video games and 80's nostalgia and skateboarding
How did you first get into this?: Classic arcades well I moved to the US in the 80s didn't have much friends so there was a bowling alley/ rollerskating rink right down the road that had a game room and I just hangout there. Skating came in when I wanted to come out my shell and there were a group of kids who lived by me into it and it was the 80/90s so I thought it was cool.
Where are you now with it?: Well arcades are pretty much defunct but making a come back but I tried to capture its magic its has for me in my home and skating I have pretty much given up the dream of being the next Tony Hawk but just another form of moment I enjoy on my active days off.
Where would you like to see this go in the future?: Well the whole barcade scene is huge now. I hope it holds up. For skating hell its doing fine its an Olympic event we have parks all over the place now as kind of why I started back. In the day we would be in store parking lots and such getting kicked out police called on us we pretty much were looked at as trouble makers and my parents kind of forced me to quit back then.
Where can listeners find out more about you?: I am centralized on IG
