Meet Rico Trevino & Jaylen Belvin | Professional Roller Skater / Skate Sponsors

We had the good fortune of connecting with Rico Trevino & Jaylen Belvin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rico & Jaylen, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
My brother jaylen and i start SWA because we want to have a team that felt more like a family then a skating team. Being a professional roller skater we did alot of traveling and seen how other sponsored teams ran their team and we just didnt think it was a good fit for us. So decided that it was time that we start our own sponsored skating team. So almost 9 years ago we started SWA in 2016 with only 7 people. Those 7 people where my brother jaylen belvin, myself, Damien Harrison, Justin southerland, Jacob conley, matthew david, and westley milligan. Has time went on the time, the team got bigger and more people started to join. My bestfriends Madison Farmer and mikel Valdez later join the team. Followed by Ali Marrero, Morgan Bush, Luis Espino, John Hipps, Ashton Stokes, Alyssa Branson, Philip Muscato, Bryan Carter and Wiz . What started small started to grow and grow because of these people who had become family and now at almost 9 years later we have a total of 60 members all over the world that has become apart of The SWA Family. My brother and i are so greatful to have everyone we have on SWA because without them their is nothing.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What make SWA different for any skating sponsorship or brand is the fact that we are like a family to each other. We treat each other like brother and sister so much that all of parents are friends so it a big family. It wasnt easy starting out, their was alot life challenges to overcome and learning how to work with different personalities, but we never gave up and find a way to overcome the odds.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
One of our favorite spots to skate is kyld warren park in downtown dallas. The park is very nice and has lots of foods trucks to try different food.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
We want to give a shout to our mom Stephanie mays because if she didnt give birth to my brother and myself. SWA would not exist at. Also have to give thanx to god for everything he has done to make this possible to.
