You don’t get to go pro for Krooked unless Mark Gonzales says so. And he said so for Ronnie Sandoval. Ronnie was bred at the world famous Channel Street Park in San Pedro (which is in danger of going away forever as you’ll see). And might be one of the craziest tranny skaters around right now. He’s a skaters skater. Real. Genuine. And constantly trying to convert all the fucking scooter kids into skaters.

We caught up with him in his hometown and learned he’s one of the raddest dudes we’ve ever hung with.
