Spencer Fujimoto has skated for some of the most prestigious skate companies of all-time. <\/strong>As a kid, he was part of the original 90s World Industries team. During his teens in SF he was a local at EMB and by the early 2000’s he was living in NY and skating for Supreme.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it was those golden opportunities that led him to moulding gold into jewellery as a creative profession and starting his brand El Se\u00f1or<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

So now Spencer is a member, we hit him up to discover how he created the first ever skate jewellery brand, what it was like being on the golden age era-World team, growing up in San Jose, going to SF, filming for Love Child, EMB, skating for Supreme, moving to New York, RB Umali, finding creative motivation, going pro with Stevie Williams, his all-time favourite spots and skate videos and more. <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When did you first get a board?<\/h1>\n

Around 1984 I got a board from \u2018Toys R’ Us\u2019 but I was more into BMX, karate, and gymnastics at the time.<\/p>\n

I broke my arm on that cheap board, and hid the board after it happened and pulled out my bike, kicked the front door open and told my mom I had an accident on my bike.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why did you do that?<\/h1>\n

I knew it would have been no more skateboarding!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So when did you skate again?<\/h1>\n

In 1986 I got a legit board and skated around my neighbourhood with whoever was around but mainly going out solo.<\/p>\n

Then my Dad got me the legit set up coming home from the doctors after getting the cast off.<\/p>\n

I was siked!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was your first proper board?<\/h1>\n

It was a Santa Cruz Rob Roskopp 4 with Indy trucks and OJ wheels.<\/p>\n

It had a skid plate, rails, nose guard, and riser pads, maybe copers too, they did’nt stay on that long if I did get them.<\/p>\n

We got it at \u2018Go Skate\u2019 in San Jose, California.<\/p>\n
