How has your life changed five years ago to now? I am now skating in front of tens of thousands of people each day and my traveling has definitely increased! I have gone to New York to do television shows over 20 times, I have met so many pro athletes that I have looked up to and a bunch of different actors, I have gotten to see many different parts to this amazing country. My G2 Youth Group with Pastor Damon is growing stronger everyday.
What is your favorite place you have got to visit thus far? Definitely Cuba.
What is the weirdest encounter you have had while on the road? I ran into Chaz Ortiz at Disneyworld in Florida in a crowd of 20 thousand people the day after he won the AST Dew Tour. He made me go on the biggest rollercoaster in the park!
How does a typical day in the life of Mitchie Brusco go? I wake up, watch some TV and eat breakfast, read a little, catch up on my school work, sometimes practice my art, play some XBOX, and head to Skate barn with my friends GJ and Tristen. Then I eat dinner with the family and watch Macgyver with my dad.
Words to live by? Own it. Live it. Each day learn and seek the truth.
