Who would have known Mami was such a Tiger King fanatic? Listen as we talk about growing up in Japan with parents that were skaters, getting sponsored, coming to California for the first time, skating in Exposure, meeting her peers, becoming friends with Lizzie Armanto and others who she looks up to, playing piano, getting on Blood Wizard, Joe Exotic and much more. Also be sure to listen as we are doing another contest this time for a Blood Wizard skateboard!

During these difficult times I encourage you to help your local skate shops, your favorite restaurants, friends and family. Be kind and give what you can to those that are in need. If you have good friends, tell them you love them while you still can.
