Hey, my name’s Shane, and I just started longboarding last summer, but I’ve been riding everyday since I added the first battle scar to my body. I literally love every aspect of this sport. Dancing, freestyle, freeride, downhill, even hard wheel sliding recently. I skate almost every day no matter the weather, it’s an addiction. I love teaching people about the sport, skating past midnight, getting kicked out of parking garages, crashing, and waking up on days where my knees don’t hurt and the roads are dry. I’ve known TheGnarDeal since the first few shirts, and can’t wait to spread the stoke about it even more!
