Growing up in Markham, Ontario, Mikey made the big move out west to "live the dream" via his semi-professional snowboard career.

With nowhere else to go during these "off" months, many of Canada's skateboarders have no choice but to take up alternate sports, hibernate indoors to watch videos or play video games... (more)

Do you think you know what it really takes to not only become a professional skateboarder, but to maintain that status? Sure, the fame, the fortune and the world travel seem awesome (and not a bad way to make a living), but in reality there's a lot of hard work that goes into it... way more than most people realize.
