Kevin Pagkatipunan: Summer Evening

💡NCDH SPOTLIGHT: Kevin Pagkatipunan💡
“I never connected much with team sports growing up but I started skating after a close group of friends in my school got longboards and started going down small hills in my hometown. I didn’t think that this hobby would become such a big part of my life, and i’m constantly amazed at the thrill it produces for me.
The feeling of sliding your wheels to make a corner has felt like an art that is hard to compare to other sports, and is a huge reason why I keep coming back to it. I can’t forget to mention all the places I’ve traveled and all the people I’ve met along the way that have made a positive, lasting impact on me. I truly hope to continue skating downhill for as long as I can.
Lately I’ve been exploring film photography and shooting the scenic landscapes around the area as well as the downhill scene here at local sessions. What started as a side hobby that I’d do when I couldn’t skate (due to a shoulder surgery last year), has become a great pastime of mine and is something that goes hand-in-hand with skating for me. Even though I haven’t been shooting that long, the amount of traveling, meeting new people, and exploring new places in the past year has been a huge inspiration to keep a camera on me.
Overall, downhill has been an incredible outlet for me to push and express myself creatively and I’m stoked to see where this takes me next!”
