Kevin is from the same town that I grew up in. I remember the first time I saw him at the local park: right away I knew that this kid had true love for blading! He makes me think of myself when I was his age. Kevin is a amazing person. He is humble, respectful and fun to be around with. And the guy can freaking shred! He skates fast, solid and precise like a diamond. It's really inspiring to see him be so passionate and following his dream to be part of our little community. He has not yet beat me to a game of B.L.A.D.E, but I guess it's cause I don't want to play against him anymore. I would get my ass kicked. Merci Kevin pour tout!
