Lizzie Armanto, Women’s Skateboarding Pioneer and Olympic Athlete – Monster UNLEASHED Podcast E15
Trailblazer, innovator, global icon: Women’s skateboarding pioneer Lizzie Armanto joins The Dingo and Danny for an unforgettable episode of UNLEASHED.
The 28-year-old skateboard icon from Santa Monica, California, has achieved several historic milestones: Armanto was the first female rider featured on the cover of TransWorld Skateboarding magazine. In 2018, she made history as the first woman to complete the legendary ‘Loop of Death’ obstacle. Since taking gold in her X Games debut in Barcelona in 2013, she has earned a total of three X Games medals (1 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze) and won the sport’s biggest competitions. Today, Armanto endorses signature skateboards and footwear for A-list brands, appears in video games and films.
But rising to superstar status was no walk in the park, as Armanto had to overcome challenges and chart her own path. Get the real story now in Episode 15 of the UNLEASHED with The Dingo and Danny Podcast.
Finding Monsters – Monster Energy
Taka Higashino, Clayton Vila, and Lizzie Armanto don’t seem all that similar at first glance. Sure, they are professional athletes on the Monster Energy roster, but in completely different places. However, they did share one thing when they were young: Where they grew up was not conductive to their dreams.
This film follows these three as seven-year-old kids on all sides of the planet as they become infatuated with their action sport for the first time. The problem? Clayton lives on a tiny island with no ski mountains in sight, Taka is from Osaka, Japan where FMX is nowhere near a commonality, and Lizzie lives in a society where seeing a girl at the skatepark was considered cute at-best. But none of them seemed to even noticed – they were completely obsessed. And in time, they started to show real talent.
This short story is a call to action to anyone who notices talent and determination at an early age. Whether you just give them some props at the local skatepark, or you risk it all shipping your kid off to a program, to pursue their dreams, your support and encouragement is paramount to a child turning young talent into world-class athletic success.
Monsters are hiding everywhere.
