No sólo come, duerme y vive por el skateboarding, si no que lo vive, y no lo digo figuradamente si no literalmente. El canadiense se mudó al sur de California hace un par de años y naturalmente, necesita un sitio donde vivir. Con problemas de crédito debido a que no es americano y no tiene la suficiente solvencia, Hoffart consiguió un precio aceptable y bastante espacio. Y, con ayuda de sus amigos que en esto de construir tenían algo de experiencia; Josh Hawkins y Kyle Berard, la casa comenzó a tener buena pinta, amueblada con la personlidad de Hoffart y su gusto ecléctico de Hoffart.
Patinable desde el porche hasta la parte de atrás, un barrier, kickers, bordillos y un bowl que el llevó más de 6 semanas construirlo. Como comenté está lleno de la personalidad de Hoffart y su mujer, intentando darle una nueva vida a antiguos muebles y elementos decorativos. Así que dale al play para poder ver la joya de la corona de Hoffart.
Not only does Jordan Hoffart eat, sleep and breathe skateboarding, he lives it — both literally and figuratively. The Canadian native made the move South to Vista, California some years ago and naturally required a place to call home. With no established credit, Hoffart chose a foreclosure due to the agreeable price and amount of yard space. With the help of his experienced friends Josh Hawkins and Kyle Berard, the house was completely gutted and built around Hoffarts eclectic personality and profession. Fully skate-able from front to back, the property sees a mini-quarter pipe, lips, ledges, kickers, a huge bowl that took around six weeks to build, and the «Canadian mud lump .» Moving inside, the home is chock full of both Hoffart and his wife’s personality, repurposing and giving new life to age-old findings.
As Hoffart puts it, his favorite pieces are all «something with purpose from another life» and include a skateboard from the ’50s with steel wheels, a railroad tie now used as a mantle, subway tiles that now fill his washroom, and his most prized piece of furniture, a armoire that used to belong to Tony Hawk. Watch the video above to see Jordan take a rip through his unique home that skateboarding built.
