Next Up Foundation Pro Guest Felipe Gustavo
On February 16th, professional skateboarder Felipe Gustavo joined us at Next Up for some skating and conversation. The experience gave our participants some real perspective on what life can be like as a professional athlete, victories, injuries, and all. Even after knee surgery and eight months off his board, Felipe put on an impressive show, and the kids had a blast skating the park with him. After the session, the Brazilian athlete shared his inspirational story with us, backed it up with some exciting footage, and invited the kids to ask questions and learn more.
Next Up Foundation Pro Guest Nyjah Huston
Published on Feb 13, 2017
On January 24th, Nyjah Huston paid a visit to Next Up headquarters, drawing a huge crowd of Next Up participants and local skaters from Anaheim. It goes without saying that Nyjah’s skills on a skateboard are impressive, but to see him perform up close and personal is another story! He tore up our little skate park, landing a majority of his tricks first try and getting everyone hyped. Nyjah was a also powerful mentor to the kids, taking time for photos, high fives, and autographs, answering questions, and giving advice. It is not every day that these young skateboarders get to interact with such a renowned figure in the skateboarding community, but the impact it has on their self-confidence, passion, and overall character is incredible. We would like to offer our kindest gratitude to Nyjah Huston for his support of Next Up Foundation and look forward to the next visit! Thank you, Nyjah!
Next Up Foundation Pro Guest Daewon Song
On Nov. 22, 2016, NextUp had the honor to host professional skateboarder, Daewon Song. He brought so much stoke to our skatepark; it was something very unique. He not only brought stoke, but he also brought something very special: our collab deck with Almost Skateboards! We would like to thank everyone at Dwindle Distribution who were involved in this project.
