Scott of Rootamental invited me to go skating with him and what seemed like the entire skate scene of the Central Coast. Rootamental has a deeper connection with the locals than I have seen with many other skateboard companies. Scott seems to be friends with anyone that has ever bought a board from him. The [...]
