SOTM: JANTHAVY SLAMMIN’ ONTO THE CALI SCENE

Model, actress, occasional @manramp back-up dancer, Janthavy Norton grew up watching her brothers skate the streets of Chandler, AZ, but it wasn’t until one night at a party she decided to make friends with a miniramp and tried dropping in… and just kept slamming until the party ended. Not one to accept failure she got a board from her cousin for Christmas and kept practicing. Practice turned to fun and she’s been skating every since. 

It's been such a wild ride to get to where I'm at now and I'm enjoying life and going on adventures and that's all I could ask for.
