RAD CARY INTERVIEW

If there was ever someone that looked like they just "belong" on a scooter, It would be Cary Mosbrucker. Whether you have seen him ride in videos, or had the pleasure to ride with him in person, It quickly becomes evident that Cary has one of the most unforced and natural styles in the sport today. Cary was born in Washington state, and at the age of 19 currently lives in Snohomish, Washington. Living in Washington has given Cary the priveledge of riding some amazing skateparks. In fact, it was at Woodinville skatepark that Cary first started messing around on scooters. Which in the beginning is all it was to him, just something to mess around on. However after riding around for a while, he met KC Corning, who opened his eyes a bit more as to what scootering really is. Soon Cary started to ride more and more, his style started to develop and come so easily and naturally that people simply had to take notice. Cary didnt follow in anyones footsteps when it came to scootering. He didnt go out to ride and try to learn every single trick out there. He liked to flow, and do a lot of bmx inspired style tricks. Some of Cary's favorite tricks to do when he goes out and rides today, are tricks he can throw while mobbing around a park. Tricks like inverts, turndowns, and different grabs. Although those tricks dont sound as fancy as a "quad whip" or "butterfinger cup bri flip whatever" When Cary does such simple tricks as a turndown or tailwhip, with his natural style, they look nothing less than amazing. Cary doesnt get to involved in the drama of the sport, to be honest he can care less. He just loves to ride. If you were to ask him today why he rode scooters. He wouldnt give you some huge thought out answer, I recently asked Cary why he still rode, and his answer? Well it was quite simple "Because Skoot'n is dope" Its an answer that I expected. As a lot of people already know, Cary isnt the most outspoken person when it comes to riding, and he doesnt have to be. Because although his riding is smooth and silent, it speaks as loud if not louder than any other rider out there today. Cary has some pretty big plans for the upcoming year. He wants to ride in as many competitions as he can get to, continue to film for the upcoming RAD video, and of course ride every single park he can find. Im gonna close this with a memory I have from when I stayed at Carys place for about week for the last Thrill Zone competition.

"I was on the deck overlooking the whole skatepark as the competition went on. Cory was by my side, and I was on the microphone announcing the tricks being done. Cary was having an amazing run. At one point he aired one of the quarters soo high, that he came down with so much speed that he didnt have time to turn fast enough. Instead he slammed into a ledge so hard, that if he didnt have a helmet on, we would have most likely been driving him to a hospital that night. Stunned I stared into the stands to see his mom on her feet, Cory and I both stood worried as people went to his aid. Slowly Cary got to his feet. Now any other rider would have sat out the rest of that competition. But what did Cary do? Well it's simple. He got back on his scooter to continue to ride against Josh Toy in the finals, and even after that horrific slam.... Yea, he won."
