Brian "Hernan" Vigil lives and skates in Whittier California, a suburb on the outskirts of La County. Hernan has been riding for almost 3 years now. He was introduced to skateboarding, in general at a young age and although skateboards were hard to come by he knew that skateboarding would be a big part of his life. Once he got a job in high school he was able to buy his first longboard and began his journey down hill. Hernan enjoys riding for Black Velvet and UnModern Industries.
