Eric Koston, one of the sport’s most prolific and celebrated skateboarders and one of The Berrics‘ founders, is the new team Captain tasked to lead Team USA to victory in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
USA Skateboarding, the National Governing Body for Skateboarding in the United States announced their decision to make Koston the new team captain last week.
Koston was hand-selected by industry maverick and newly appointed USA Skateboarding CEO Johnny Schillereff.
“USA Skateboarding, our athletes, and our country deserve a leader of tremendous skill, integrity, and accomplishment...Eric is a great role model and mentor for our team with both real-world experience in winning and a passion for helping our skaters excel. There is no one better suited to lead our team to victory both on and off their skateboards. I’m grateful to have Eric by my side for this incredible journey.”
