Gaby Ponce
Gaby has been skateboarding since age ten where her parents would drive at least one hour to get to skateparks. She progressed to a point where she realized she wanted to skate vert. It was no easy task and her parents had to drive four hour round trips to the nearest vert ramp. They have put nearly 200,000 miles on their car during the four years of her skateboarding career. However, she currently lives in San Diego, CA for college where the ramp is eight miles away. She has acquired a unique style and tries to push herself by watching the guys skate and then trying to mimic the tricks they do. Gaby is constantly inspired and motivated by the progression and culture of skateboarding.
