Scott Quinn - Elite Series 3 by Jonas Hansson

About 10 years ago in the sun drenched land of San Diego I had the honor to meet Scott Quinn. I was hanging around the Razors Warehouse right before the SDSF Open was going to happen. A few team riders from across the globe descended to city and bunked up at a house right on the water in Imperial Beach. I was a 5 minute drive away in Claremont, so naturally I would serve as tour guide for the crew. Chaz Sands, Avichai Wechsler, Fabio Enes, CJ Wellsmore, and in the background was a face I had never seen before, Scott Quinn or Quinny as we all called him. Small in stature but nimble on his feet, with one of the thickest Scottish accents I have ever heard in person, always smiling and down to shred. It only took two sessions to understand that though he came from the shadow of Chaz Sands, Quinny was anything but a shadow.

After 6 weeks of skating nearly everyday, filming tricks, going to Esco on Mondays, and BSing at the beach house, we had to part ways. I remember running everyone to the airport and Quinny gave me his Razors bag (partly because he got a new one, and partly because he was overloaded) before we collectively said our goodbyes with promises of catching up in Scotland sometime. Though I've yet to make the trip, I still use that razor bag to this day to bring my skates to every session. Dingy, caked in wax, rigid from years of sun abused wax bars, and airport carousels, that bag is a reminder of the person I met nearly a decade ago. Now with one of the best looking Razor skate releases of all time under his belt, and countless miles spent with the Cayenne crew through Europe and beyond, he's partnered up with Jonas Hansson to bring you the third chapter in his Elite Series.
