Meet Kirk Harriot

What do England, Gymnastics, dodge ball, and Pink Floyd have in common? Well, nothing unless, of course, you’re Kirk Harriot.
An imperial ex pat, Harriot ditched the gymnastics and headed across the pond to Canada. When asked why he wanted to join FIGJAM, Harriot said, “the clothes and of course, they hook it up good.” Well, it seems Harriot knows a good thing when he sees it. After dabbling in other sports Harriot found his niche in skating. For the past 6 years he’s been hitting the skate scene hard and it all came together when he dominated the Ontario skate scene this year winning the Men's Open Division at this year’s DC National Qualifier.
Harriot’s desire to stay true to the skateboarding culture is apparent when he notes that his motivation comes from seeing younger skaters rip up the concrete. His leadership and incredible skills embody what FIGJAM is all about.
Welcome to the team KIRK!
