Steve Kong

Born and raised in Brooklyn. During a rough period in his life, Steve found what he needed in skateboarding. From the moment he stepped on a board he knew he liked going fast. Bombing hills with his friends at a local park, he found out about the Earthwing skate team (downhill and technical sliding team) having sessions every friday. Steve absorbed all that they had to teach him about sliding. Winning and placing in local competions with his unique style of sliding got him noticed by Earthwing and soon he was put on the team. Besides sliding, Steve also uses his longboard to get from point A to B whenever he can, all while dealing with the infamous crowds of pedestrians and short tempered drivers of NYC. Steve works at 4th State Metals as an apprentice machinist and spends his spare time practicing photography.
