Bio
Kaspar van Lierop
Jessika is an incredibly driven, highly skilled and experienced trainer who has an amazing supportive and uplifting spirit. She is able to connect with anyone. From the most professional athletes to the down and dirty raw skateboarders. She puts them all to work. On the latter, Jessika took a dive in the deep end, moved from Oregon to LA to follow her dream. She has helped myself on the mission to have PT and training to become normalized and standard in professional skateboarding. She has made this goal and dream reality and is now training the best skaters in the world, including the USA National team.
