Manage episode 343533673 series 2858394
Beaver Fleming is a pro skateboarder, Nitro Circus rider, author and motivational speaker.
Beaver Fleming grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee. His brother had the Tony Hawk Pro Skater Game and that was his introduction to skateboarding. His parents were really supportive of his new found love of skating and got an 8 foot halfpipe built in the backyard. Beaver started competing and going to Camp Woodward in the summer months. When he was 17 he moved to Woodward West in California for his final year of High School. Travis Pastrana saw him skate there doing crazy tricks in the foam pit and invited him to join the Nitro Circus Tour.
On his 18 birthday he flew over to Australia to join Nitro Circus and has been with them for the last decade as their main skate athlete. Beaver has kept innovating new tricks such as the world's first Cork 720 Christ Air which he calls the “Tennessee Tornado”. He's won Best Trick at Simple Session 3 times and still competes around the world.
Tune in to find out how Beaver has crafted one of the most unique careers in skateboarding, how he is using his voice to inspire kids, what he has in store for the Nitro World Games and loads more.
