Margie Didal from the Philippines got into skateboarding around the age of 12 or 13. She started skating in a university parking lot near her house, using her sister’s shoes, and surprisingly won a contest within her first year. Margie shared a funny story about posting a viral photo with someone she joked looked like Tony Hawk. She also talked about the quirky bureaucratic hurdles in the Philippines, like needing an ID to get an ID, and how important rice is in her family’s life. During the interview, Margie discussed her future plans in skateboarding, her experiences competing internationally, and how supportive her family has been, especially her dad who built her a mini ramp after she won at the Asian Games.
