Ruben Najera

I grew up in a small city with little if anything to skate but curbs and a few three stairs.. Thus I practiced manuals and got my balance down. It wasnt until I grew a bit older and started going on road trips to different cities. From there on a whole new world of new spots and terrain graced my eyes. I started trying to document every trick i could on every obstacle i had the chance on when away from my home town. I love skateboarding. I can pretty much say it saved my life. And if i didnt have it with me through high school im pretty sure i would have been doing something else with my life that would not have been so productive. It saved me from all bad and it kept me sane in an insane world. When i would have problems i would turn to my skateboard and skate them away. It was always a friend that would never let me down and would always be there for me. And I intend on skateboarding till i am an old fart. Even when i cant be doing tricks later in life i intend on cruising it through the beaches of so cal with the wind blowing in my face and the holy sun tanning my skin. SKATEBOARDING FOREVER!!!!!
