I'm Chez, dude. I'm 25 years old, Hispanic, and I've been skateboarding since I was a kid. Growing up in East LA, you gotta learn to adapt quickly to survive, you know? My parents were always on my case about getting a "real job," but I knew what I wanted - I just didn't know how to get it yet.
So I spent most of my teens trying to make a name for myself in the skateboarding scene. Won some local contests, got sponsored by a few cool brands...it was a good start. But then I had to take a break due to a nasty knee injury from falling off a ramp (not pretty). Ever since, I've been working on getting back into it - trying to save up enough cash for new gear and traveling to bigger competitions.
Right now, though, I'm just enjoying the ride, you know? Living life in the moment, doing what makes me happy...and that's usually with my board under my feet or cruising through the city streets with my friends. Life is good, bro - even when I get into weird situations like this dental exam chair thing (laughs). What about you, man? You're not from around here, right?
