 ..::The Pros::..

TONY HAWK 
Hometown: San Diego, CA
Resides: Carlsbad, CA
Stance: Goofy
A household name, Tony Hawk is the best known Action Sports athlete in the world. Almost singlehandedly, he’s opened the door to a whole new attitude in competitive sports. And he did it with a smile. All that fame hasn’t gone to his head. He’s still a good guy who happens to be able to do a 900. And he stays on top by continually going further with new tricks and new records.  

BOB BURNQUIST 
Hometown: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Resides: Sao Palo, Brazil
Stance: Regular
Fluent in Portuguese and switchstance, Bob Burnquist won’t accept the status quo. He keeps pushing himself to do more, no matter what the cost. Originally from Rio de Janeiro, Burnquist has easily made the transition to North American and world professional skater. Can you do a Burntwist?

STEVE CABALLERO 
Hometown: San Jose, CA
Resides: San Jose, CA
Stance: Goofy
He has the maturity of a Zen master and the enthusiasm of a kid with a new toy. Steve Caballero has been around the block. And down the stairs. And over the pipe. Caballero invented some of pro boarding’s signature moves in his long and illustrious career. He’s a year-round skater who rips on all terrain—street, vert, and parks. If you get a chance to see this patriarch ride, take notes. 

KAREEM CAMPBELL 
Hometown: Harlem, NY
Resides: Los Angeles, CA
Stance: Regular
An authentic big city skater with smooth moves and smart tricks, Kareem Campbell is a man to watch for. He may be ripping up the subways of New York City or tearing around the beach towns of Southern California. Wherever, whatever. Campbell knows his moves and keeps it real. He’s not in it for show. His moves are authentic urban professional skating at its finest. 

RUNE GLIFBERG
Hometown: Copenhagen, Denmark
Resides: Costa Mesa, CA
Stance: Regular
A champion vert skater, Rune Glifberg left Denmark to join the pro circuit becoming one of skating’s most versatile professionals. He gets sick air on pipes, and shines everywhere else you can roll a skateboard. Be it on the street, up the rails, or anywhere else, Rune Glifberg is the real deal. 

ERIC KOSTON 
Hometown: San Bernardino, California
Resides: Hollywood, CA
Stance: Goofy
Eric Koston: a professional skater that owns the hearts and minds of fans everywhere. His skills are mad: always new, always smooth, and always terrific. Show him a new trick and he’ll bust it—better. His moves are liquid. Koston makes professional skating look like child’s play.

BUCKY LASEK 
Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Resides: Carlsbad, CA
Stance: Regular
Bucky’s made a name for himself and christened quite a few tricks in his impressive career. He doesn’t need smooth bowls and perfect pipes—he can trick off anything you’ve got no matter how hard or how high. Skateboarding Mecca Carlsbad, CA is lucky they’ve got Bucky.

BAM MARGERA 
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
Resides: West Chester, PA
Stance: Regular
This guy’s got a following you wouldn’t believe. His “take no prisoners” skating makes Bam a real poster boy for America’s youth. Let’s just hope he stays out of the teen mags and stays on the tour. Bam Margera is young, strong, and can slam on the board. Keep an eye out for his movies and videos. What’s another way to say donkey?

RODNEY MULLEN 
Hometown: Gainesville, FL
Resides: Hermosa Beach, CA
Stance: Regular
He’s built a foundation for street skating with scores of world titles. If you want to become a street skater, you’ve got to study the basics. Rodney Mullen wrote the book and named many of the tricks that are today’s mainstays in competition. If there’s something he can’t do with a street and a skateboard, we don’t know about it.

CHAD MUSKA 
Hometown: Loraine, OH
Resides: Woodland Hills, CA
Stance: Regular
He’s no wallflower. Muska is out there and running with the top dogs in skating—and practically everything else. Great at meeting and greeting, he’s near perfect at on-board shredding and hard core tricks. Watch for him in videos, music, and schmooze-fests. You won’t be disappointed; Muska’s always red hot.  

ANDREW REYNOLDS 
Hometown: Lakeland, FL
Resides: Huntington Beach, CA 
Stance: Regular 
It’s bird! It’s a plane! It’s Turtle Boy! No need to duck when this superhero takes flight. Andrew Reynolds made his way up the ranks with big air. I mean BIG AIR. Reynolds defies gravity with his street heights and rail flights. He raises the limits of pro boarding’s air possibilities.  

GEOFF ROWLEY 
Hometown: Liverpool, England
Resides: Huntington Beach, CA 
Stance: Regular 
Hailing from the land of Big Ben, Geoff Rowley moved to California to try and find some competition. He’s still looking. What do you expect? It’s near impossible to go up against this psycho street shredder. Sharp edges and stone slabs don’t scare him away from some of the most captivating street tricks ever performed. Rowley doesn’t need a pro event to top the charts. He does it down on the streets.  

ELISSA STEAMER 
Hometown: Fort Myers, Fl 
Resides: Huntington Beach, CA 
Stance: Regular 
A picture’s worth a thousand words, and this skater’s picture-perfect. She rises above the preconceptions about street skating and blows the competition away. Sick tricks, big air, and hard knocks—that’s what skating’s about. Steamer’s her name, and powerhouse riding’s her game.  

JAMIE THOMAS 
Hometown: Dotham, AL
Resides: Encintas, CA
Stance: Regular
Shove. Shove harder. Keep shoving ‘till the boundaries of “what can be done on a skateboard” are destroyed. Jamie Thomas doesn’t believe in “can’t.” He laughs at “impossible.” There’s no rail or gap in the world that he won’t conquer. This is a skater for the new millennium. He’s going to lead us where no one has gone before.
