Los Angeles skateboarding juggernaut The Berrics has a new segment called "Hopping Fences." Their first episode features skate fashion punk influencer Erik "Burberry Erry" Arteaga about not caring what anyone has to say, and he wants to do his way in life.

The first clip of the exclusive "Bose x Berrics" video series captures the fashionista saying, "I don't really care what anyone is going to say. I just want to do because I want to do," explaining on skepticism.
Burberry Erry said that he started skateboarding at a young age and didn't want to pursue what other ordinary people do when graduating high school. Instead, he followed his heart and worked on progressing in skateboarding.
"Skateboarding didn't provide me anything. I wasted my life, and then years down the line, I'm literally doing what I want to do, and for it defines skateboarding. Because if it wasn't for skateboarding I wouldn't be here," He said.
Although he may have many haters, the spiked-headed skater has 304k followers on Instagram at the time of this writing and has been modeling for Balenciaga and other famous brands, thanks to the designer deity Virgil Abloh.
After The Berrics posted a team light work video, that's the time Abloh discovered him. "When he saw that video of me skating in those shoes, and he saw how everyone was so mad and commenting all this, he literally texted me like this is it, this is your time, let me start sending you more stuff you skating it." Burberry Erry said.
