| "If you met Tony Hawk, you'd probably notice his shins first. you'll see how much flesh he's left behind becoming the most influencial skateboarder in all history. He lost some perfecting the first 900. More went while creating the 50+ signature moves and winning 12 world championships. The father of two boys and modern skateboarding, Tony lives his home life in his native SoCal." |
| "From Brazil and up to the winner's podium, Bob Burnquist is one of today's most exiting and original skaters. Blowing others' minds with his unique styles and switch-stance riding, Burnquist won the first pro contest he entered. He then went on to be the first skater to pull off an Eggplant Revert, a move now simply known as the "Burntwist"." |
| "Get up, shower, brush, and head out to invent new tricks. Just another day for Rodney Mullen, the godfather of street skating. As a pro for 20 years, Mullen owns 35 freestyle world championships and an enormous list of signature tricks. Like the kickflip, underflip, impossible, casper, and darkslide to name a few." |
| "Out of his native Las Vegas and into skateboarding's top magazines and videos- welcome Muska. After lighting it up on the Strip, Chad moved to California at 15 and quickly became one of the worlds most respectable skaters of all time. This self-styled pro always takes his brand of skate-and-relate creativity to another level. This includes experimenting with jungle and hip-hop beats on his "Muskabeat" album" |
| "Originally from Alabama, Jamie has conquered some of the biggest gaps and longest rails ever. His video parts in "Welcome to Hell" and "Misled Youth" prove it. Jamie is the only person to walk away from the Leap of Faith with both legs intact." |
