You know that one friend who full sends it down the hill with no toe stops like it’s nothing? No? Well, enter Hehkhepri!
Hehkhepri Martin, the designer behind Roll, Bounce, Rock Skate apparel, is a fixture at NYC skating events, with 9 years of skating under his belt this Brooklyn native is talented but understated, smooth rather than showy. In this interview we pick his brain about his creative process from the skaters who inspire him, to how he works through new moves. He shares his take on balancing taking up space with reading the room (or the rink ;-) ) , countering toxic masculinity in skate spaces, how showing up and connecting with people is what it’s all about, and how vital it is to make space for fresh innovative DJs in the rink space. It’s gonna be a fun one, so don’t miss this!
