Name: Holly Lyons
Age: Ageless, thank you for asking :-)
Where you are from? Walnut Creek, CA
How long you have been involved with skating? Since 1993
What brought you into the sport? I used to be friends with some pro skaters in the Bay Area. My girl friends and I would watch them skate all the time and I thought it looked so beautiful. I wanted the feeling it seemed like they got from skating. I don't like just watching either, so 2 of the guys hooked me up with skateboards and t-shirts.
What the sport has done for you? I've traveled and met a lot of cool people, I had my own signature shoe and pro model skateboard, competed in the X Games 5 times, won a World Cup Title, and I've learned a lot about myself.
Where do you mostly Skate? Encinitas
Where has skating taken you around the world? Mexico, Canada and all over the US.
What are you doing when you are "not" skateboarding? Working on my company SK8*GRL, do hosting work for Planet X, other TV work, yoga, walking my Chihuahua Rerun, stuff with friends
Other sports of interest? snowboarding, surfing, yoga, rock climbing is pretty cool too
Favorite movie? Right now I like the Twilight movies and books, Highlander otherwise....."there can be only one"
Favorite band? I like all kinds of music so I don't have one
Favorite food? Sushi, Chocolate
What would you change in this world (if you could)? I would LOVE to change how kids are taught to develop their minds from a young age. In other words, I would like there to be Awareness classes. We learn math, science, etc. but we aren't taught how to be a person, how to understand ourself, who we are inside. I would like to work with other people to get education like that to the youth.
Comments? HI to everyone and thanks to all my sponsors for their support :-)
