My journey into the world of pro scootering began at a pivotal moment in my life. Growing up in a neighborhood where drugs were easily accessible, I found myself surrounded by peers who chose that path over healthy pursuits. For a while, I felt lost, grappling with the allure of substance use that promised escape but led only to darkness. One day, while wandering through the local skate park, I stumbled upon a vibrant group of riders showcasing their skills on scooters. The fluidity of their movements and the sense of community inspired me.

Fascinated by their passion and camaraderie, I decided to take a different route. Determined to change my trajectory, I saved up for a quality scooter and hit the pavement. At first, I struggled, fumbling through basic tricks, but slowly I began to improve. The adrenaline rush of landing a new trick and the supportive cheers from friends became my new high. I dedicated myself to mastering scootering, participating in local competitions and becoming part of a close-knit group of riders who lifted each other up.

As I poured my energy into this newfound passion, I not only found an exhilarating outlet but also constructed a life filled with purpose, positivity, and creativity, a stark contrast to the dark path I had once been on. Today, I am a professional scooter rider and an advocate for youth, sharing my story to inspire others to choose passion over substances.
