Travis Pastrana

Travis Pastrana
Pastrana invented many of the young sport's tricks and became the sport's world champion at age 14.[1] He landed a double backflip in his film Nitro Circus 3. On August 4, 2006, at X Games 12 in Los Angeles, he became the first rider to land a double backflip in competition, winning his first Moto X Best Trick Gold Medal.[2] It is believed that only one judge did not rate the run 100/100, making the final score a 98.60[3] Pastrana said after the competition that he has no plans to attempt the trick again. Pastrana's X Games participation ended when he injured his knee while walking to see his friends in the stands, so he could not perform a glory run for his Moto X Freestyle Gold Medal

Fabiola da Silva

Fabiola da Silva (born June 18, 1979 in São Paulo), nicknamed Fabby, is a Brazilian rollerblader who competes on the LG Action Sports World Tour. She has received over fifty medals in the LG Action Sports World Tour events. She has received seven X Games gold medals and one silver, making her the most decorated female athlete in X Games history. In a seven-year stretch, she only lost one X Games event, finishing second in 1999.

She has been so dominant against women skaters that she forced the hand of the sport's administrators in respect of limited gender integration of the professional sport: in 2000, the Aggressive Skaters Association created the so-called "Fabiola Rule", which allowed women to compete in the formerly all-male vert competition. Since then, she has placed in the top ten several times in events where she competed against men.

In 2005, she became the first woman ever to land the double back flip on a vert ramp.
Fabiola da Silva features in the triple Webby Award winning book of cool.

Skateboarding

Skateboarding

El skate es una forma de representarse uno mismo y formar un estilo único si uno lo prefiere asi, se practica en cualquier lugar si tu lo deseas, asi que una cosa importante de este deporte seria crear siempre un estilo único o hacer un freestyle y hacer lo que quieras. Otra forma de ver esta disciplina sería practicamente que el skateboarding es un deporte que se practica con un skate o monopatín, en cualquier parte de una calle donde se pueda rodar, o en una pista especialmente diseñada para la práctica de este deporte (Skatepark). Se trata de buscar la belleza al probar la habilidad del exponente, conseguir realizar distintos trucos, deslizarse por largas barandillas (grinds o grindar), bordillos u otros elementos urbanos, o trucos de estilo libre (freestyle)(cada persona muestra trucos originales complejos). Está relacionado con la cultura callejera, y bajo el nombre de este deporte hay una amplia cultura. Para abreviar se le denomina simplemente como skate y es todo un estilo de vida. El skating ha desarrollado una gran atracción e interés para muchos. Un reportaje del 2002 para la American Sports Data estimó el número de skaters es de 13.5 millones en todo el mundo. De éstos el 80% tiene edades inferiores a los 18, de los cuales el 74 % son hombres.
