San Diego native Cory Juneau might be one of the youngest skaters to take part in professional events, but do not underestimate his extraordinary talents. His podium success has been plentiful; at age fourteen, Juneau found himself on two major podiums – Vans Pool Party and Dew Tour. His specialties include speed and bending frontside boardslides through corner pockets. We’re positive that Juneau will bring the steeze when he hits the skate park during the Olympic Games later this week.

Skateboarding is Heimana’s blood. The 22-year-old began skating at a young age and prides his family’s connection to the sport. Working at Proper Rideshop, the pro skater spends his spare time helping the family owned business; he teaches kids how to skateboard, runs camps and clinics, and works with programs such as A-Skate, which teaches skateboarding to children with autism.
Reynolds has been trying to roll with the big leagues since he was 15, but never made it to the podium. Reynolds started turning heads during his breakout season in 2019, where he won the international open in China in July, the world championships in Brazil in September, and the world beach games in Qatar, followed by a second place finish at the national championship in October. Heimana is now the No. 1 men’s park skater in the world.

After learning to skate at age four, Zion grew up and quickly garnered respect as a skateboarder in Florida. At the age of 16, Zion’s family moved to Los Angeles in hopes to advance his career. In 2017, he went pro for Real Skateboards, and in 2019, Wright was named a member of the USA Skateboarding Team. The achievement was big news for the athlete, who came to the final park contest of the Olympic qualifications as 114th in the world and 16th among Americans.
