ska8 is written by a small editorial team of skaters — not a content farm. Every guide is researched, tested, and reviewed by the person whose name is on it.
Tyler Brooks
Skateboarding Coach & Editor
Tyler has coached skateboarders for 10 years, running youth skate programs and teaching riders from first ollie through advanced technical street lines. He owns the skill development and safety coverage, and he is the one who actually rides every board, truck, and wheel that gets reviewed. If a guide says something held up, it held up in his session.
Mia Torres
Skate Gear Reviewer
Mia has spent 7 years testing skateboards and protective gear, from beginner complete setups to advanced street rigs. Her reviews come from weeks of wear-testing — decks broken in, pads beaten up — not from spec sheets. She leads the gear review desk and keeps every price and spec current.
