Jerry Castillo [Final]

    As a boy who likes to skate, I admire pro skaters all over the world. I’ll show you my Top 5 Skaters, but first I’ll tell you a brief background about Skateboarding. “Skateboard was made during 1940’s – 1950’s when surfers want to surf on flat ground.” A skateboard consists of a board or “Deck”, trucks and wheels, these 3 are attached to each other so that it will form a skateboard. Some of the basic tricks are Ollie, Kick flip and Heel flip. Now that you know a brief background about skateboards, here’s my 

Top 5 Skaters

 5. Lil’ Will 

                Maybe he’s small, but this kid kicks like a pro! Started skating at a very young age, Will Fyock or a.k.a Lil’ Will can beat many pro’s with his talent in skating. With such achievement at young age, Lil’ Will was sponsored by many skate brands all over America.

4. Ryan Sheckler

          Sheckler was introduced in skateboarding when he saw his Father’s skateboard at 18 months old. Since he was a young kid, he started to skate everytime, he landed his first trick which is Kickflip at age 6.

3. Rob Dyrdek

    Dyrdek started skateboarding at age 11 when he received his first skateboard from professional skater Neil Blender. His parents are very supportive about his skating career. Dyrdek is one of the biggest and richest skaters in the world, having one of the 2 T-rex car in the whole world is cool, the other one was a gift to Justin Bieber by Dyrdek. Dyrdek is sponsored by DC shoes, Alien Workshop and Monster Energy Drink.

2. Paul Rodriguez

       Paul Rodriguez is one of the most known skater in the world because of his awesome skating abilities and being a sponsored by Nike SB. Paul Rodriguez, also known as P-rod has the lead role in my favorite movie, Street Dreams playing the role as Derrick Cabrera, a teenager who skates and doesn't go to school. Sad to say, Street Dreams wasn't shown in other countries because of it’s rebellious acts.      

1. William Spencer

          An epic Skater who combined Karate and Parkour in his skating career and by his amazing skate skills, he was named the Skate Ninja. This man got no fear, his first appearance in skate video “Hollarado” gained 1.5 hits in YouTube because of his insane skate stunts. One of his stunts is back flipping a 10 stair and landing on his Skateboard, it was so EPIC!! I forgot to mention that he is the stuntman of Andrew Garfield in the movie “The Amazing Spiderman”. For me, he is the best skater ninja in the world.
