On this episode of TheRise, we travel down to sunny San Diego where we meet up with skateboarding legend Victor Earhart. He shows us the technology behind the scenes at Sector9 Skateboards that goes into the manufacturing process and how a piece of wood becomes a skateboard that is being used around the world. He shares some of his wisdom on life- wisdom that us, here at TheRise, have never heard. Also, Victor takes out our Director Jamie Knapp and teaches him how to keep rolling when skateboarding. With Victor's guidance, Jamie is able to skate down a steep road and then go off road and skate on a dirt path. See and hear the impact that Victor had on Jamie's life and skateboarding. Plus, we see why skateboarders have so much trouble when they skateboard and get hassled by police. Victor and his skateboarding partner actually receive a citation for skating on a road. You won't want to miss the exchange between the police officer and Victor!
