Nickname: Prince
Favorite tricks: True topacids and hurricane topsouls
How long does a setup usually last you: A setup for me usually lasts a month then I start switching out the parts. Usually the soul frames first then take care of everything else. My current setup is the Genesys 5's, with white Jug Murda Liners, Mindgame Dustin Latimer wheels, and Bones Swiss bearings.
Favorite skaters: Mike Johnson, Chris Haffey, Billy O'Neill, Frankie Morales, and Rachard Johnson.
Favorite place to travel: My favorite place I have been to has to be Australia, the best beaches and some of the most beautiful ladies!
What's next: I want to keep growing as a skater and a person, enjoy all the tours we are going on this summer, get my pro skate out, make a Mindgame section, and appriciate everyday that I'm able to rollerblade.
Just a few years ago, Brian Aragon, an unknown skater from Colorado, shocked everyone at the Eisenberg's HoeDown in Texas when he not only entered the event, but beat out most of the seated pros in attendance there, taking second place behind the unstoppable Aaron Feinberg. The following year, there would be more jaw-dropping surprises when Aragon took top honors at the competition, proving that he wasn't merely a passing threat, but one of the world's most capable pro skaters.
Aragon isn't pro because he lives next door to someone who shoots for a rollerblading magazine, or because he morphs his style to compliment each new fashion trend. Brian Aragon (that's Prince Aragon to you) is a professional skater because his capacity on skates is superior to that of 99% of the world's population. That's just a fact.
Brian is relentlessly touring, competing, and filming throughout the year as he travels the country and the world. Some believe he's the hardest working pro in the skating business. But what Brian believes is that there's nothing that he can't do on skates. They're both right.
