I started longboarding at a University of Calgary summer camp, taught by Gavin Rutherford, fellow PARKtek teammate. After going through traditional sports like football, lacrosse, and basketball; Longboarding introduced me to the concept of free spirit and expression in sport. Longboarding has brought me not only adrenaline and excitement but a sense of calmness and peace in my everyday life. Not only is it one of the best competitive racing sports, but it can also be used for transportation, or just having fun with friends.

PARKtek as a community brings out the gnarly in everyone. They have given me a chance to find what truly speaks to me in a downhill deck. The FireBolt. Designed for riders with a narrow forward racing stance, the FireBolt has a perfect standing platform with an aggressive shape. Concave where you need it, The FireBolt remains unrivaled for any downhill endeavors, no matter your size. My go-to board for racing and long-distance.
