In 1992, PLG’s father bought a skate park, and that same year, the 12- year-old began to enter skateboarding competitions.

Birthdate: Sept. 3, 1986 Sponsors: Adio, Birdhouse, Volcom, HP, PlayStation, Burton, Oakley, Target, Burton Shaun White burst onto the skateboard scene in 1999 and hasn’t looked back since. Although renowned for his work on the slopes — claiming two Olympic gold medals in 2006 and 2010, as well as a total of 10 Winter X Games titles in snowboarding slope style and super pipe — White is also a well-respected skateboarder. 4 BUCKY LASEK Hometown: Baltimore Birthdate: Dec. 3, 1972 Sponsors: Element, Billabong, Rockstar Energy Drink, Vans, Wendy’s, Von Zipper, Pro-Tec, Ogio, Independent Trucks, Boneless Pads Lasek got his first skateboard at age 12, when his bike was stolen.

Over the course of his twodecade career, Lasek has proved time and again he’s the fiercest, and most composed, of any competitor on the vert ramp. With a never say die attitude, a perfectionist’s approach to choreographing contest runs, and an uncanny ability to pull out a miracle when necessary, Lasek has taken home multiple Dew Cups. He unveiled the first new skateboarding trick of the 2008 Dew Tour by landing a boneless fronstslide rodeo during the Panasonic Open. 5 SANDRO DIAS Hometown: Santo Andre, Sao Paulo, Brazil Birthdate: April 18, 1975 Sponsors: Positiv Skateboards, Oakley, Red Bull, Ollie Shoes, Hawaiian Dreams Sandro Dias started skating in 1986 at age 11 and turned pro in 1995. 6 PEDRO BARROS Hometown: Florianopolis, Brazil Birthdate: April 16, 1995 Sponsors: Volcom, Evoke, Drop Dead, Khiro, Type S, Wave Boys, Red Bull, Vans, Indy, Pocket Pistols Pedro Barros has been sponsored by Drop Dead Skateboards since the age of 3.
