Alexis Sablone Breaks Down College, Contests, & Career Moves in MS 07

Mission Statement Episode 07: Alexis Sablone

Alexis Sablone came up with PJ Ladd, Jereme Rogers, and Ryan Gallant through the Coliseum video in 2002, and skated for The Firm and éS  during her early career. She walked away from sponsored skateboarding to go to college before reemerging on the contest circuit several years later, and ultimately winning three X Games Gold Medals to date. Sablone used her contest earnings to get her masters in architecture from MIT. From there, she turned pro for WKND, designed a skateable sculpture in Malmö, and is that newest addition to the Converse CONS team. Lee Smith gets the lowdown on how she’s accomplished so much in such a short period of time in Mission Statement 07.
