Meet Kyle Spinks: Your Trusted Skateboarding Advisor

Hello there, I’m Kyle Spinks, and I call Montana my home. Life has a way of surprising us, and my story is no different. I used to have a steady job with a good salary, treating my family to a comfortable life. But one day, everything changed in ways I couldn’t have imagined.

When Life Took a Turn

The sudden arrival of the Covid-19 crisis shook up my world. The company I dedicated myself to, the same company that was my source of stability, started letting people go to cut costs. Like many others, I found myself on the list. It was a shock, yet I accepted it with a heavy heart. Suddenly, my savings became a lifeline as job opportunities grew scarce.

Discovering Unexpected Joy

Amid this uncertainty, something surprising happened. My empty basement, once just a space for my kids to play, transformed into a place of unexpected joy. It was here that two skateboards from Amazon arrived one day, almost as if fate had a plan for me.

Skateboarding was a world I wasn’t familiar with, but my kids were. They became my teachers, showing me how to find balance on those wheels. Days turned into a whirlwind of laughter and learning, breaking the monotony that had settled in.

From Curiosity to Passion

During this time, a friend asked me to review those skateboards. Jokingly, I asked for a treat in return. To my surprise, he agreed and sent a small “gift.” I poured my thoughts into an honest review, discussing both the ups and downs of those boards. Little did I know that this casual task would spark something more.

As I explored the world of skateboarding, I noticed a pattern. Many websites I visited were part of the Amazon Affiliate program. Intrigued, I dived into understanding how this worked.

The Birth of a New Journey

Studying the Amazon Affiliate program became a fascination. I was so engrossed that I even forgot to eat one day. This exploration coincided with the pandemic that had disrupted my life. It was during this time that a simple idea emerged – why not start a website?

Skateupdates.com came to life, slowly but surely. It’s been a journey of growth and learning. Initially, I felt unsure about reviewing products, but I persevered. I shared affiliate links on social media, even though I hid behind the screen.
