Doug Brown

Chances are you've seen Doug Brown on the Fuel TV, at the Gravity Games, AST Dew Tour, or even on a stick of X-Air Deodorant, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Doug's love for the world of skateboarding began all the way back in 1986. While the skateboarding trend has waxed and waned in popularity, Doug's commitment to the sport remained constant. His professional career began by chance in 2002 when discovered at the Gravity Games and caught the eye of his first two sponsors. After that, he began skating demos and winning several competitions throughout the states. After twenty years of boarding he is still faithful to his original style of skating while integrating new moves into his repertoire. Currently, Doug can be seen skating anywhere from four to six skateparks a week, as well as making personal appearances at various events. Some of the highlights of his career are participating in the AST Dew Tour, Gravity Games, the Summer Invasion Skateboard Series and numerous television spots on Much Music Television, 54321, Fuel TV, ABC Sports, ESPN, Fox Sports, Planet X, Xcorps TV, and the Sports Talk Network. Notable causes include involvement with American Red Cross, member of Athletes For Hope and his own Skate Straight Program.

How does a typical day in the life of Doug Brown go? Wake up, check email, run errands. It's always something to do with my skate life. Always fitting skateboarding somewhere in my day.

Why do you choose Triple 8 for your protective gear needs? I've been faithful to Triple 8 pads for years because of the reliablity and trust of the product. No doubt the helemets have saved me on many occasions through the years.

Words to live by? It's not what you do, it's how you do it. Believe in yourself. Take an original and creative approach to what ever you do in life.
