Now then Spencer (Spendogg) how old are you, how long have you been skateboarding for, and what are you on with?
Now then Paul, i’m 18 years old, I wanna say i’ve been skating for about 2-3 ish years?
couldn’t put an exact date on it mate.
At the minute my time and energy is going into this new job that i’ve started, first full time job so i’m having to adjust to that.
So you’ve just turned 18? Hows all that going for you? Have you managed to get your ID sorted yet? Been struggling with that one haven’t you ha ha.
Yeah turned 18 half way through the year, and it felt big at first, like a bit daunting, but it’s just another number, and it allows me to do more things with my life, so really positive all around.
Paul, my ID is an ongoing issue haha, it’s October and i’m still procrastinating getting my photos done for it! It is just a lot of hassle, and I really cannot be bothered right now.
When did we meet? Was it down at West park? I can’t remember?
Y'know, I don’t exactly know when we first met each other, but I wanna say it was probably west park? I would imagine I saw you skating one day and wanted to get to know you a little better, so thats probably where it all started!

Anyhow I’ve been watching you progress over the past year or so via the WelcometoHull instagram page, and then meeting you out skating.
What has urged this progression of yours? You drinking some special water in ULL?
Haha no there has been no special water as such, I think in terms of my progress, the reason I’ve been pushing myself is because skating has given me things to work towards, goals I can achieve as long as I give my self enough time to achieve them. It's not like I need other people to skate with, although it's more fun, it's something I can do myself without having to worry about other people.

Looks like you’re on one at the moment, even winning the Withernsea Skate Park opening Jam ‘Skater of the Day’ props mate.
Getting 'Skater of the Day' at Witherensea was a bit of a shock at first, because I never had any intention on going to that park to win anything, it was more the fact I knew the vibes would be great, and there are going to be some amazing skaters there, which was enough for me.

What is next for Spendogg? Do you have a Street part in the works?
Honestly Paul, i've thought about it loads of time, but i don't really think I have time for it at the minute. To make something that I would be proud of, and think it was worth my time, i'd want to go all out.
My trick selection at the moment is kind of flat ground based, by which I mean i'm struggling to take it into the streets. However that doesn't mean I won't ever make one...
