Dillanger was introduced to freestyle skating by his good friend Ryan Brynelson, who is also a freestyle enthusiast. Both have been very lucky to have Kevin Harris as their Mentor, who has worked to develop their skating style. Although Dillanger utilizes skating as an outlet for creativity and cardio, he prefers freestyle as it is a more technical and powerful style of skating. A few years ago he was approached to move to China and teach skateboarding to kids. Talk about a dream job. Dillanger recently got picked up by an amazing skate company by the name of Moonshine Skateboard in the U.S. and is in the midst of creating his own custom freestyle skateboard shape.

Skateboarding, especially freestyle, comes with a lot of falls and bruises while learning new tricks. A few months back to took a fall and cracked a few ribs that he is still recovering from, but he says, “That won’t hinder my passion for skating.” Besides skating Dillanger likes playing his guitar, keeping fit, and researching scientific theories and discoveries like neuroscience and quantum mechanics.

A member of the World Round-Up demo team, he traveled putting on skate demos with a few other familiar faces from the World Round-Up Championships, Andy Anderson, Dan Garb, Ryan Brynelson and Kevin Harris. Dillanger says, “Skateboarding has been a huge part of my life and it always will be. I am really looking forward to returning to Canada in 2021 for the World Round-Up.”
