RITCHIE FERNANDEZ (left and @Ritchiee1 on Instagram) and KAIL (right) were skating their hearts out at DOWNTOWN SKATEPARK in Vancouver this morning.

Kail told me he was feeling the effects of jet lag, so it was really nice of him to let me interview him.
I asked RITCHIE FERNANDEZ (Instagram: @Ritchiee1) and KAIL (just in from Queensland, Australia) if they could answer a question that is very near-and-dear to me:
HAVE YOU EVER FELT LIKE A LOSER/A FREAK/OR AN OUTCAST? IF SO, WHAT HELPED YOU THROUGH IT?
Here are their answers (and I greatly appreciate them letting me film them, because other skaters were camera-shy, or said they had never experienced feeling this way and therefore didn’t have an answer…Kail said he thinks everyone has felt this way at some point, and I have to say that I agree):
