Here’s the video highlight of the Circuitfest Music and Skate featuring Willy Santos and Riley Hawk.
Click here to view the embedded video.
Willy Santos is a Filipino who was born in Subic Bay, Philippines, but grew up in and is based in San Diego, California. He is one of the Filipino Skate Board Street Pioneers who paved the way for Filipino Skaters and served as one of the inspirations of the Philippine Skate Board Industry.
Willy Santos started skating at the age of 12 where he saw some older guys skating and doing the board slide in the elementary school that grew up in. From then on, he got hooked and continued learning how to skate board. Willy turned professional at the age of 15. He currently skates for Bird House Skate Boards, Tracker Trucks and Tory Wheels, Bones Bearings, Paradox Scripts, and Willy’s Workshop Brand.
Riley Hawk, currently 20 years of age, also started learning how to skate at a very young age, almost the same age as when his father Tony Hawk started.
Riley practices and skates everyday and tries to keep it fun. He explained in his on-stage interview that, “when it (skating) gets super serious, it takes the fun out of it.” Though it did take a lot of sacrifices, including broken bones. Mark Salling pointed out a sign from the audience that said “Riley sing with me”. Apparently it was for another Riley, who is from a band in the program line up. Though Riley does play the guitar.
It was indeed an overwhelming experience for My Life on Board team to cover this amazing skate and music event. Big thanks to DC, Quiksilver and Roxy for giving us an opportunity to witness a milestone in the Philippine skateboarding scene.
