MAD Ambassadors

”2 years, 30 esk8’s, 18k miles... never knew my first mile on an old Backfire board will change my life.
It’s a drive: the drive to roll out with the wind blasting on my face and the earth but a mere blur. Therapeutic almost, the thrill of an otherwise simple traverse of point A to B. versus. The beauty of the world from a whole new point of view.
That's me: part-time college student, part-time bobarista, and full-time explorer of the next best route around the streets of Escondido, my hometown. Then I found people like me around town, and the next thing I know, I founded Esco-esk8. And then I found people like from across Socal, and the before I knew it, I'm a community lead for SDesk8. And if privilege could've end there, instead I'm privileged now to be a part of the revolutionary wheel experience of Madesk8” -GT_Pevs

“A little about me: I’m a retired (formerly high ranked) Mixed Martial arts fighter. I have always had a competitive nature and a drive. As a teen I was a professional inline skater. After fighting ended (medically) I still had the fire to compete and tried to get back into inline. The first day I tore my meniscus and lcl. I wasn’t able to in-line or push skate but still wanted too. Insert a motorized skateboard. My first board was the AEboards mini (bad product/ worse customer service) and from there I have had many boards and built one. Currently I am building a race board for esk8con 2024. Eskate provides me and outlet for my competitive spirit as I try to beat yesterdays version of me. It’s also extremely therapeutic and calming on the mind. Eskate also provides me with a way to be creative while also teaching me new technology that I wouldn’t know otherwise.” -

“I go by JB and also go by Santi! PEVNERD is what most know me by. I have no idea what I'm doing 90% of the time. But, if you see me, come by and say hi!

I'm a nurse by profession and a PEV rider by obsession. I ride to keep the soul happy and my witts snappy! I've had my fair share of spills but never stopped from seeking thrills! I believe in chasing your dreams no matter how difficult it seems.

I started riding 3 years ago and where the future will take me, no one knows. I do hope it's full of fun and with nice weather under the sun. My goal is to ride faster and make my skills better.

I got the 3 best passions in life. I'm either out riding, eating burritos, or sleeping. I naturally don't have too much focus. But, when I'm on the track, everything is quiet and the only thing that matters is to get moving faster. That's how I untilize my hyper focus into action. Am I fast on the track? I don't think so! But with hard work and dedication, nothing is impossible!

My life moto is YOLO. Live long, ride fast, and just keep moving forward.” -PevNerd
