Collin DaSilva Inward/Phoenix Edit



16 year old Collin DeSaliva (just kidding Collin) recently got sponsored by Inward Scooters and Phoenix back in early February this year.  He finished this video today after about 4 months of filming.  Such a gnarly video, huge bangers everywhere, great style.  Definitely deserved to be sponsored by companies like Inward and Phoenix.  Collin went to his first comp while sponsored, Cootercon 11 last weekend and managed to place a well deserved 6th place.  I caught up to Collin to ask him a few questions about his experience there.

Credit goes to Matt Somers for filming and editing.

What did you think of Washington when you first got there?


It was pretty sick, there are a bunch of really nice parks so close together.

Where all did you get to ride?

Well there are just too many to name.  Stan (Smirnoff) drove us all over.  My favorite parks were Sammamish and Skatebarn.

What was Skatebarn like when you first got there? Was it like you imagined it at all?

Yes, and no. It wasn't as slippery as everyone says but it was just as smooth as i imagined.

Were you happy with how you did in the comp?


My first run I was. My second run a camera guy ran under me as I was hitting this gap and sketched me out and made me fell. Overall pretty happy i placed that high.

You definitely deserved it, want to add anything else?


Thanks alot, I just want to let everyone know that no matter how many people tell you what your doing is gonna get you no where to just zone them out and keep doing your thing. Believe in yourself and the rest will follow.

    ALL SCOOTER FILMERS! You do not need to use a fisheye for every clip, especially if yours looks like this. Long lens fisheye shot on the truckdriver down the stair ruined the clip. Just cause you think its cool to use the fisheye doesnt mean that you have to.
