Get to Know Your Shop Guy #2 – Travis Riggan Interview

For our second installment of Get to Know Your Shop Guy, we sat down with another Manager who is an OG in the shred game, Mr. Travis Riggan! And don’t forget to check the first interview with Zac!

1. Starting with the basics! What is your name and where are from?

A: Travis from Colorado.

2. I understand you have some pretty sick nicknames. Would you mind telling our readers what they are and which one’s your favorite?

A: Irish Pirate, T-Bone Steak Sauce, Trigger to name a few.  I would say Trigger is ok at the moment.

3. If you would, please describe yourself as if you are filling out a bio for an online dating site.

A: Kate Moss’ twin brother.

4. Where are you from originally and what brought you to the great state and powdery mountains of Utah?

A: I am from the western slope of Colorado and I came to party with Mormons.  Mostly for a change of scenery though.

5. What is your job title and what are your duties around the shop?

A: I am a Manager and a buyer at the shop.  I do a bit of everything.

6. Of the products we carry, ie. Snowboard, skateboard, longboard, or mountainboard, which one is your favorite?

A: Skateboard, no contest.  Sick style bra!

7. Time for this interview to get deep. What brought you to where you are now? What made you fall in love with skateboarding and this lifestyle?

A: I fell in love with skateboarding because it gives me the feeling of ultimate freedom.  Not only the flowing movement of the board, but also freedom of expression.  Plus almost every person involved in the skate industry is amazing in some way.
