“I first met Jacsen in September at the Overtime Battle Under The Bridge LES skate event. His skating immediately stood out as strong for a guy his size. Jacsen’s dad was skating a YoFace 35″ so we clicked having the Bustin brand in common.
I started following Jacsen’s skating through his active Instagram account. The second him and his dad expressed interest in our flow program I was all over it.
Jacsen, Curren Atterbury, and Luca Zeolla are all part of Bustin’s increasing commitment to invest in future generations. Stay tuned for more updates on this unique component of our team”

Where is your favorite place to skate?
Locally my favorite street spot is Hanover square, it looks really cool and the bricks make it tricky. My favorite local park is Black Mamba, it’s indoors and the people there are always really nice. To travel, FDR is fun and so is LES oh yeah and Heaven in CT.
What was your first board?
Birdhouse Tony Hawk 7.75 that I covered in stickers.

Skate whatever you want, however you want, on whatever you want, no limits.
