My 2014: Scott Quinn

2014 has been a good one. New products got released, people traveled from all over the world to visit some of the great events out there, awesome videos and edits came out and the vibe has been great in general. But of course, everyone’s got their personal favorites and we wanted to know how 2014 looked like for some of our favorite pro riders.

Scott Quinn had a pretty travel-heavy year. He attended 14 events and 4 tours, visiting 25 cities in 11 different countries. That alone sounds like a wonderful year full of exciting adventures, but when he’s home in Glasgow he isn’t going back to a boring 9 to 5 job but living and teaching in one of the best indoor parks in Europe. That’s also where he hosted his own event and hold a skate camp, but hey, why don’t we just take a look on the full list…

Injuries in 2014:
Both heels again and again which really sucked and took me out of the game a couple of times. But learned my lesson and the shock absorbers are back in haha.


Any specific moment or experience that stood out in 2014?
There are so many, but Roskilde was out of this world.
Everyone needs to experience it.

What was your worst moment in 2014?
I’m struggling to think of any bad moments in 2014, looking back it was all pretty incredible.

Is there such thing as the best day in 2014?
Every day that I stepped off a plane into another adventure.

Apart from jamming in as much traveling as possible there’s a few other things on their way that will all be reviled shortly. Overly excited to start another epic year!
