Name: Scott Andrew Duncan

Age: 24

Background knowledge information:

I have been involved in the skate/snow industry for 10 years. I've been around to see the old 2 the new. I've seen skateboarders come and go. I've seen companies come and go. My whole life I've always been very intriged with background knowledge information, from who invented the skateboard, 2 who manufactures them, 2 who builds them, 2 what each peice is called, 2 who specializes in retailing them, 2 the people who ride them, 2 the pros who made it all happen. I'm a very dedicated person thanks to these people. Derric Karel a.k.a DK, Shawn Dunlop a.k.a Done, Ryan Forget a.k.a Holms and John Piitz a.k.a JpLadd. The whole reason for my appearance in the industry is because of those four guys. They showed me, they pushed me, they gave me the strength to believe in myself. After landing my first flip trick which was a Heal flip over 1 deck wheels on the pavement, my first year of skateboarding, my friend Dk told me, that I was going pro, well that never happened due to other creative earnings I wanted to pursue in my life.

It was nice to hear your buddy tell you that your going pro.

Follow your heart, Skateboard. Live Life, Live it, Love it, Learn it. I'm currently writing a book not knowing when the due date will be on my journey of... freedom, peace, joy and commitment. Skateboarding not only gave to me, but I gave back to skateboarding. I have given to the youth of today the determination, the strength and the awareness of these simple words. They helped me focus on thoughts and success, I hope they help you.
