Am Spotlight: Noah Risser

Noah Risser is a name that I had never heard of until about a month ago, when I stumbled upon his Tech/Flat Minivideo.  It was clear that he had talent on his scooter, and I definitely saw a little of myself in him.  He rides super tech and creatively.  I think its safe to say that he has a bright future in the sport…with tricks like nose manual doublewhips, hang five bartwists, and boardslide doublewhips, he is one am to keep your eye on.  I got in contact with Noah and asked him a few questions to get to know him better.

How long have you been riding, and what made you start?

I've been messing around on scooters since like december '08, but seriously got into them around May '09. I think I got into riding after seeing one of my friends do a tailwhip, and then I just got amazed by them, and now here I am haha.

Who are some of your favorite riders?

I have a TON of favorite riders. but my top 5 would have to be Erik Feenstra, Dylan Kasson, Matt Mckeen, you (Jordan Jasa), and Tom Kvilhaug. after watching videos of them I feel like I've gotta go out and ride haha.

I love the tech part part of your riding.  What influences you to ride like that?

Watching my favorite riders definitely influences how I ride. I know I don't go as big as Mckeen or Tom, and I'm not sure where the tech part of my riding came from, but it somehow turned out like that. I would like to have a nice street/tech combo of a style one day haha.

What are some companies you'd like to be sponsored/involved with?

If I could pick any team to be with, it would no doubt be District; I love all their parts and their riders so much. but as for teams other than District I would like to be involved with maybe Proto, Inward, or Skyhigh.

Any tricks you're working on?

As for tricks now I'm basically trying to re-learn all my tricks because I lost a lot of my tricks due to the winter. but what I would want to land this Spring would be triples flat maybe 720 a set if I would man up for once haha.

Any shoutouts to close it up?

Yea I wanna shout out to Will Rosati for being like the only person that still rides in the winter with me & Isaac Coy because he drinks gasoline! And thanks to you Jordan for giving me a chance to be on Inside :)
