Jackson Shapiera - Team Rider

Name: Jackson 'Jacko' Shapiera

Age: 22

Sponsors: Hopkin Racing, Sector9,, Munkae Trucks, Venom Bushings, Predator Helmets, http://www.skatehorde.com/, CompleteRadness.com

Where I'm from: I've been living on Sydney's Northern Beaches all my life

What I ride: Slalom - Pavel Roadster. Downhill - Sector 9 Roxane Mould, custom shape. Freeride - Sector 9 Carbonite/Brandy

Favorite place to skate: Mt Kiera, Wollongong. Its about 8k's of winding hotmix with a pretty fast straight to finish with.

What got me started: I've had a longboard since i was in 8th grade and when I watched DogTown and Z-Boys for the first time I really wanted to get into all the old-skool stuff like street surfing and hill bombing. Then i met up with the ASRA crew at a slalom jam one day and history worked it's magic from there

Favourite Skaters: My mates coz we always just jam around and have fun. But other than them it would have to be Steve Daddow, Scoot, James Kelly, Louis Piloni and Kevin Reimer.

Goals: To win a world cup race, and to keep traveling the world meeting new and interesting people while spreading the stoke of longboarding!
