If I could change the world I would,

Make bernie boss, all citys should have indoor verts and free health care.

Oh and all the rich should be forced to give 80% of their shit to a foundation that actually helps the poorest of the poor.

Everybody should own a,  bathtub

The hobby I have, no one knows about is,  I used to freedive alot, breath holds are great for the soule

I will never get rid of,  my starwars toys

I would love to be in a movie with,  Mark Hamill

Any regrets in life so far?  Not living next to an indoor vertramp.

I currently follow (social media, instagram twitter, Facebook)  all of them

Anything else, Vert, u got to skate Vert !!!
