Dave Morgan (he/him) - Berlin 2021

An integral ambassador to Berlin skateboarding @mavedorgan who's currently laid up with a broken foot with time to wittle and drink tea.

I remembering hearing that there was a new dude crushing transition in Berlin a few summers ago, (Julian invited Dave to skate the Weissensee ramp which says a lot). That smile and those moves won me over immediately, (alway so kind, happy and relaxed) Dave fit right into our old folks skate group of auslaender misfits. It takes at least one person to keep everyone motivated (group texts, planning to ride bikes, adventures out of town, fresh parks just built) to skate even once a week. Dave gets out there several times a week with a several different crews, (shooting photos, filming a video part or contributing to the Euro mags). It makes so much sense feeling how ingrained he is to stay that stoked, (usually killing a board a month easy).

During the first winter of the pandemic I rode by for a tea and a visit, (initially to see his spoon production and was also shown the natural sculptures which is an eyeful). How crazy is it is to make spoons out of old boards, (you gotta glue em together, jig em out, wittle em, hand sand em, and oil em). Of course this is all done from the sanctity of his bedroom set to great music. We land on the same page with bands our parents influenced us with and all things skateboarding.  Berlin is lucky to have Dave here around.
