Interviewing Dallas Local Skate Company Defiant Upgrades + Contest Announcement
Earlier in 2020, I made an attempt to film a Dallas Skate Spots episode by myself at Lewisville Skatepark, AKA Toyota of Lewisville Railroad Park early in the morning. I remember forcing myself awake that morning at around 6am to try and film before I started my day job at 9am. (SPOILER: I didn’t finish the episode that day, but I did finish it in 2021. you can watch it HERE.) I did manage to meet a skater there by the name of David Dulin.
I was setting up my camera at the benches they have near the entrance of the skatepark. David was sitting across from me at another bench while his girlfriend quad skated in the distance. We got to talking and became friends. I couldn’t stay too much longer after we began our conversation, but we kept in touch.
A month or so ago, David reached out to me and announced he was starting his own skateboarding company called Defiant Upgrades. We decided to team up to promote both of our brands via a contest. I also wanted to make my readers aware of the new company by writing this article. David’s a super interesting person and I hope you enjoy my socially distanced and fully online interview with him as we discuss his new company:
