What's The FLO: Lenny Velasquez

Next up, we're gonna get in touch with that Guatemalan art of finesse. Lenny Velasquez is also a #sketchboyz killer with such a humble approach to his skating. You always see this guy smiling or laughing during a session. It's almost impossible to catch him slipping being frustrated over a trick or anything. He always looks out for his fellow bros. Be on the lookout for him at Wilhall aka Ambassador Skate Plaza according to Google Maps.

Anything we should know about you as a skateboarder, Lenny?
Not much. I just want to have fun and enjoy it as much as I can. Although it can be hard sometimes. [laughs]

So who's out there that has your favorite style?
It depends on what I'm watching. If it's tech skating, Trent McClung. If it's tranny, Grant Taylor's got the best style, but all around I really like Elijah Berle.

I know it's already May 2017, but do you have any plans in skateboarding this year?
Me, Boni, and Derek are working on a little VX video. So this year, I for sure want to drop some sort of content. Other than that, enjoy skating and all the trips and fun it comes with.

Sounds dope, my dude. Who's your filmer, and what's the kind of vibe you guys have altogether?
It's the homie Andrew. Vibe wise, I think we got something cool because we skate so differently but yet so similar in a way. It's always fun.

Is the vibe any different when you're just catching a session with your boys?
Somewhat. We're so close that it feels like any normal sesh, but there's way more hype.

Any shoutouts?
Anybody that supports me in any kind of way. My girl, my family, and my friends. That's pretty much it.

If there was anything you could change in skateboarding, what would that be?

Honestly nothing. Everything happens for a reason. [laughs]

Great attitude. Last words?

Stay humble, have fun, and keep skating.
