Rayssa Leal is now a pro with April Skateboards. She has come a long way since the video of her landing on a heelflip while wearing a fairy costume went viral in 2015 when she was just seven years old.
Leal won silver in the Tokyo Olympics women’s street skateboarding competition last year. This year, she got her first X Games gold medal in the women’s street competition. Oh, did we mention that she is just 14 years old?
Watch her viral video below.
Jonny Hernandez thought he was doing a photo shoot with the Primitive team. After a round of Game of SKATE, the gang made the grand announcement, catching him by surprise.
Watch the behind-the-scenes video above released by Paul Rodriguez on his YouTube channel and Jonny’s Primitive Welcome video below.
April Skateboards officially welcomed Dashawn Jordan to the team with a new video. His board is now available on April’s website. Dashawn was previously sponsored by Toy Machine.
He rose to fame by winning Tampa Am in 2016. The following year, he took the top spot in the Street League Chicago Finals as a rookie. He has since solidified his position in skateboarding.
His other major contest wins include USA Skateboarding National Championship Men’s Street Finals in 2019 and 2021, Street League Unsanctioned in 2020, X Games Men’s Street 2021, and Red Bull Solus in 2022.
Jake Yanko is officially a pro for Welcome Skateboards. Watch his first pro video for Welcome, “Swamp Fight”. You can buy his debut pro model boards here and here.
