Then & Now. Kryptonics.

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down and doing an interview with Kryptonics - this is a wheel I rode back in the day, in 2012 when I skated down the 405 Fwy, and I'm now riding the new blue 82A's on my cruiser board. It's always been one of my favorite wheels and I can't tell you how stoked I am that they are back!

What was the year you rode for Kryptonics? I rode them mostly in and around 1978 

What color wheels/size did you ride? Blue's when I wanted gripping power on any plexiglass ramps I think they were 60 mm? Greens for everyday cement parks

How better where they from the competition? They were amazing - nothing gripped like blue kryptos in my book - they were my secret weapon.

Who got you on Kryptonics? I can't remember - they just started giving me wheels when I asked

What was your favorite Kryptonics ad from back in the day? I think there was one with Salba in it I liked

Best memory with riding for Kryptonics? Plexi glass ramp in Fountain Valley - guys were sliding out once they got to high up on vert and those wheels helped me stick to the wall 

What is your favorite memory in skateboarding from the 70’s and early 80’s? Competing in the Gold Cup Series - beacuse you got to see all your friends & team riders that lived in other places at each contest & really push each other

What is your favorite memory in skateboarding? Spending every waking hour skating either the dogbowl or upper keyhole at Marina Skatepark with some of the best vert skaters in the world

What are you doing now? I am a Sports Stylist® - which means I am a fashion stylist for pro & Olmpic athletes. I also have a collab board with Dusters California called "Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word", and I work to promote women in skateboarding. 

What are your thoughts about the Original star trac wheels coming back - I can't wait to ride them!

Anything else to add? I recently put a vintage set of Krpto's on my board when I rode down the closed 405 FWY this past year - I chose Kryptonics because I knew it would be a smooth ride - and it really was.
