There’s obviously more to you than just a skateboarder; what defines you? I am a studious but lazy person. I am somewhat an extrovert. I like meeting new people and making new friends.

Who or what are some things that inspire you? The people who have inspired me the most are my friends who I grew up skating with. Almost everyday we would skate at this Lutheran church or Washington Mutual bank and I would learn from their styles and tricks.

Who are your role models and heroes? My parents are my heroes, since they support me and my skateboarding “addiction.”

What has been one of the most significant parts of your life so far? Hmm, this is a hard one. I’d have to say being introduced to a skateboard. It’s always been my getaway and my stress reliever.

How long have you skated? I’ve been skating for about 2 and a half years.

What are some other passions of yours? I wouldn’t call it a passion, but I like to hacky sack every now and then.

What are your goals? My goal is to become a better skateboarder and a better person.

What will you strive to achieve in the next couple of years? To make the best of my last two high school years.

For other people seeing you that may have opportunities for you, what do you want as a young skateboarder (pursuit-wise or needs)? I just want support and anything that would make my hobby less pricey.

Do you want to have an influence on people, and what kind? I want to show people that having fun is the key in skateboarding or in any sport or hobby.

Define your lifestyle, personality, and a little about who you are: I try to fit skating in my life as much as possible, so much of my free time is spent doing what I love. I am a pretty gracious person and I like to feel sympathetic towards others.

What is your favorite Kavadba and Elevated product, to date? I digg the Snow Drift hoodies.

What are your most and least favorite things about life right now? My most favorite things about life are my friends and my life in general.

Where else can people see you or your skating? I post videos on YouTube every now and then with me and my friends skating. Check them out at http://youtube.com/wamusesh.

How can people contact you? You can e-mail me at KyleMorioka@yahoo.com and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

Anything else? I also check my messages frequently from YouTube, so add me as a friend or send me a message.

What can we do to help you out? I just need all the support I can get for my skateboarding passion.
