QUIM CARDONA // ROOTS ROCK SKATE AD
Name: Quim Cardona
Age: 13 backwards, so next year I’ll be 23.
Roots: New Jersey.A place for everyone to live. There’s no place like home.
Current Setup: High Time’s New York City. Cut out grip tape. Check out how it did it: http://www.quimtime.com/gallery.php
What do you do with your old setups: My current setup is cracked! If it’s still skate-able, There’s so many new skaters out there who can’t afford a new board.I’ll tell to re-grip it, and it’s good as new…Recycle the wood, and make furniture. That would be dope.
Good story about someone else on the team: Tell you the truth, I don’t have any that I feel comfortable putting out there.
Favorite Spot: New York City. A spot that no one skates. A spot that everyone skates, but doing something that hasn’t been done yet.
Favorite Music/Band: Paper Roses
Your Favorite Zach TV episode: The one when he rides his bike in circles
Favorite Website: www.quimtime.com
Personal Hero: My Dad
Dream Day: I woke up a day after long day of moving furniture, and long night organizing my home. Talked to my baby on the phone, showered up. Put the kettle on for some hot tea and breakfast. Couldn’t of been a better day to hop on the train to New York City to skate and film a few clips and then make it out to Brooklyn for the Carnival / Annual Caribbean Parade. Met with Josh Stewart, Filmer from the Static videos, to film a spot that was shot with Yuri Shibuya, days before. We got the clip, the time, patience, and efforts, was well worth the wait.The parade reminded of the song from Hyro “ So many females, so much inspiration”. Mad Good Food. At least I could say that skating is our labor of the day.
Favorite Local Legend: Harold Hunter
One good story that skateboarding has provided you with: Skateboarding has provided me with the insight to raise a family. Exercise the power of my self expression. Through Skating, Music, Art, and Cooking. Do what makes you feel free. The experience I’ve gained in the past 10 years gives me the foresight to look ahead. I see much more happening. One Day at a time. Enjoying every moment.
