Becoming the number one vert skater in America is no easy feat. In his eight years as a professional skateboarder, Bucky Lasek has surpassed some of the most notable names in action sport to claim this title. But for Bucky Lasek, it is just another page in the story of this incredibly talented skater's life.

In his hometown of Baltimore , MD , Bucky Lasek (whose real name is Charles) first picked up a skateboard at the age of 12 after his bike was stolen. Soon after he was competing in amateur contests and quickly climbed up the ranks as a professional skateboarder.

Today he is considered one of the world's most consistent Vert skateboarders, with a contest repertoire that includes more difficult tricks than any other skater in competition. Known for his smooth, fluid style, Bucky Lasek has won 8 X Games medals, five of which have been gold. He continues to maintain his place among the top of the Vert world, taking 2004 titles in the Vans Triple Crown, Gravity Games and the Slam City Jam. Lasek has taken home the X Games Vert Gold 4 times. He not only dominates the Vert contest scene, but also repeatedly commands the Best Trick contest as well, proving his aggressive and innovative style. In 2000, Bucky Lasek became the first skateboarder ever in the history of X Games to win gold in two consecutive years with back to back wins in 1999 and 2000. He repeated the honor in 2003 and 2004. In 2005 and 2006 Bucky Lasek took home Dew Cups for consecutive overall AST Dew Tour wins.

The world may know him as one of the best skateboarders, but Bucky Lasek considers being a husband and a father his greatest accomplishment. When he's not skating Bucky Lasek enjoys relaxing at home in Carlsbad , CA with his wife and two daughters, working on his house, and hanging out with friends.
