"He pretty much tought me every thing I know." - Derek
Every weekend they go and ride Stevens Pass together weather its slushy, icy, or dumping snow. They always find a nice jib, a perfect place to build a jump, or a sick line in the park. Never giving up and all ways progressing is what made him who he is today.
Skate Spot: The Streets of Washington - told by Derek himself
I have been skating for 8 years, I got my first skateboard when I was 7 years old. I didn't really start getting tricks tell i was about 9 or 10 years old. The first time i tried an Olly was when I moved to Monroe I saw a kid doing them at the local skate park and thought it was so cool, so I asked him to teach me. Two weeks later I finally landed my first Olly from there I just keep progressing. When I turned 12 I got so caught up in snowboarding and kinda forgot how much fun skating was but then I stared right back up. Today I am popping Tra Flips and Full Cabs all over the place. You can bearly get me off that thing.
Stay tuned for their upcoming skate film. They hope to have it out by August 2009!
I am excited about my relationship with U.G.L.Y. Lifestyle!
