What’s your name, age, and where are you from? 

Alec Spinosi, 21, Helena, Alabama.

How did you get into skating?

My dad and uncle grew up skating. Definitely weren’t big on the whole football thing.

That’s sick. Coming from Alabama, the football thing must have been pretty big around your parts? 

Yeah, it’s all about tailgating and Sunday football out here.

What skate shop or companies are hooking you up? 

Faith Skate Supply, Real Skateboards, Thunder, Spitfire, Nike Sb, Bronson Bearings, and Darkroom. 

How did you get hooked up with the Deluxe crew?

The homie Mike hit up Cody Rosenthal at Deluxe and he put in a good word with Zig. He was sick enough to start sending me gear.

Is skating your full time gig or are you hustling it at a day job?

I’m currently hustling the valet biz. I work doubles almost everyday. Pull up.

Dang, what’s the nicest car you’ve whipped on the lot? 

I’ve driven a couple of Bentleys. It’s a pleasure, but definitely nervous every time. That’s a lot of responsibility. I hope you have insurance!

Living lavish! So your moving to Cali, why the move?

Just to change things up. I’ve been living in Alabama my whole life and feel like I need to get out before I get caught in the mix. I don’t want to be 50 working a 9-5 in Helena.

Good luck on the big move! Any last shoutouts? 

My mom for all of the love and support, my Uncle Tim, Peter Karvonen at Faith, Zig, Nate Alton, Mike Sinclair, Daniel Lawson, Skate Jawn, all the Alabama homies, and everyone who has helped out along the way.
