Meet Sky Brown, the skateboarder set to be Team GB’s youngest-ever summer Olympian From 1843mag
kateboarding makes me feel free, like I’m flying. When I’m in the air, it feels like I can do anything. I was born in Miyazaki, Japan and lived there until last year, when we moved to Orange County, California. I started skating when I was two or three, same with surfing. My dad built a mini-ramp in our backyard for him and his friends to skate on. He would skate every day after surfing. I would steal his board and play with it. It was my favourite toy.
I never really thought, “I’m going to get so good at this and go pro.” I just got better and better and it happened naturally, when I was seven. I’m 12 now. When I was eight I became the first female skater to land a frontside 540. That’s when you spin one-and-a-half times counter-clockwise, instead of clockwise, which is the more common 540. Surfing really helped me learn the frontside 540. In the ocean you can try any trick and you won’t get too hurt.When I go up in the air, I want to have fun but stay focused. If your foot’s not in exactly the right spot, you can easily fall over.
