It’s the first episode of a new series! We love being members of the estate community along with our fellow riders. Behind The Rider is meant to celebrate the growing eskate community by sharing insights from its members. To start, we here at BKB would like to let you know a little more about us. This includes both our journey of entrepreneurship and DIY skateboard building.
At BKB, Jared and Quentin work to make the electric longboard scene more accessible and fun, providing riders with the tools and knowledge to create their very own custom-built electric skateboards. In this interview, we dive deep into their expertise, exploring the ins and outs of how they began riding and how BKB began.
Join us as we explore the challenges and triumphs that Jared and Quentin faced on their path to success. Learn about the hurdles they encounter, the risks they take, and the rewards they see from BKB and electric longboarding in general. Throughout the interview, we also touch on the vibrant culture surrounding E-skate and longboarding. We discuss the camaraderie among riders, the shared passion for the sport, and the sense of freedom that comes with gliding through the streets on an electric longboard.
