    I love skateboarding and I love mixtapes, so I decided to bring both things together and craft “Music for Skaters” I love the artistry of mixtapes. Choosing songs, blending them together, weaving a theme and mood throughout, and then sharing the mix. What could be better that that? How about having a finished product that […]
