Phoenix Pro Scooters and Chris Gascoigne




By now word has leaked that Chris Gascoigne and Phoenix Pro Scooters have gone their seperate ways. I took the time to sit down with Chris and ask him a few questions regarding the matter. Check out the interview below.




Steven – So, lets just get right to the point... you left Phoenix, is everything good between you two?

Chris - Everything is fine actually, Phoenix is an awesome company, it was just time for me personally, to do what's right for me.



Steven - You say "What's right for you". What exactly did you mean by that.

Chris - What i meant is, Deep down i'm a californian and that is where i need to be to be truly happy. I wasn't preforming to the best
of my abilities at Phoenix because deep down i wasn't truly happy. So i had to make a choice and do what was best for me.



Steven - That's very respectable. I understand you had a signature deck through Phoenix, what will happen with that?

Chris - The deck is going to be discontinued. I am sure Phoenix will release future decks in the white color so I will be happy to see that.



Steven - What's your favorite memory while with Phoenix that you can recall?

Chris - Ah, I have many but the one that sticks out the most would have to be, being in the office in our meetings about product development, the insight to
quality design that Phoenix has is amazing. Being there and learning and sharing ideas as a rider to help develop and create awesome product is my favorite memory


Steven - So Chris, do you have any plans for the future?

Chris - At the moment, i have a few doors open for me, but right now I just want to ride and have fun. Reconnect with my scooter and enjoy the sunshine and riding with all my friends.



Steven - Do you have any last words you'd like to say?

Chris - Yes I do, I just want to take this opportunity to thank Phoenix for all the support they have given me. It was and still is very appreciated.
i would also like to thank my friends and family for supporting me.

But I know u will stay successful and drive ur way thru this biz
