FS 180
Who are you, how old are you, and where
are you from?
I’m Alex Moran, AKA “Paisa Boy”. I’m 17 and
from San Jose, CA. 408 baby.
What was it like growing up and skating
in San Jose?
San Jose has one of the best skate
scenes in my opinion. All the older
homies from out here are a huge
inspiration and have been killing it for
years. They definitely put San Jose on the
map, and inspire me to do big things
with skateboarding.
Who do you ride for?
NC Boardshop in Los Gatos, CA. They hold
it down!
Do you have any projects or video parts
you’re working on?
I’m currently working on a welcome part
for NC.
When you’re not skating what are
you doing?
When I’m not skating, I’m either at
parties with the homies, or kickin’ it at
the Toga pad.
What’s a typical day in the life of Alex
like?
Wake up, take a piss, make some soyrizo
with tofu, and OJ, watch some skate videos,
hit up my local park, Red Park. Then meet
up with the homies to hit the streets and
stack clips
How do you feel about the direction
skateboarding has been going recently?
Honestly I feel like skateboarding is a
bigger thing now than it was before, and
that it is more accepted. But at the same
time, I’m only 17, and don’t really have too
much to say on it.
What do you love about skateboarding?
That you can be as creative as you
want with it and that there’s really no
right or wrong way to do things. You
have the freedom to do what you want,
how you want.
Shout outs/ Thank yous?
First and foremost goes out to my mom, I
wouldn’t be who I am without her. All the
San Jo homies for keepin’ it G, the Toga
boys, my filmer Jake. And last but not least,
Sus Pup, AKA Aaron Pettigrew for always
coming through with the sauce flicks, love
you G.
