Bucky Lasek – to the vert

Bucky Lasek is born in Baltimore and his real name is Charles. His first encounter with a skateboard was when he was 12 years old. His bike was stolen at that time and he needed a new wayt o get to school fast. At first it was a practical stop gap measure but as fate would have it, he would be one of the most successful vert skaters around.

A christian magazine source said that when not skating, you'll often find Bucky going from appearances to charity events and autograph signing. He has been featured in several magazines, including the Dub magazine, ESPN magazine, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Rolling Stone, and Gear Magazine. He also appeared as a guest star on Disney's "The Jersey", ESPN/Touchstone's IMAX film Ultimate X, and also The Today Show and Nickelodeon's Slime Time Live. He is also Element's pro model skateboard, a pro model helmet for Pro-Tec, and is a character in Tony Hawks' video games, Pro Skater 1-4 and Underground 1. At home, he often collects signature trading cards, action figures, and Vans shoes.

The whole world may look up to him as one of the top-caliber skateboarders in the world, but for Bucky Lasek, his greatest accomplishment in life is being a husband and father to his two daughters.
