Chances are you've seen Doug Brown on the Fuel Channel, at the Gravity Games
or even on a stick of X-Air Deodorant, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Doug is a musician, entertainer, songwriter, recording artist and full-time professional skateboarder. Hidden behind his contagious smile and charisma is a wide range of talents and a strong sense of determination.
Doug's love for the world of skateboarding began around age 12, after
seeing Back to the Future for the first time. He and his buddies spent
every available moment on their boards throughout junior high and high school.
While the skateboarding trend has waxed and waned in popularity, Doug's
commitment to the sport remained constant. Even when his time was
stretched between his music career and traditional business ventures, he maintained
a regular schedule of practicing and honing his skills.

    As Doug matured, so did his talent and confidence. His professional career
began by chance in 2002 when he worked his way into the Gravity Games and caught the eye of his first two sponsors. After that, he began skating
demos and winning several competitions throughout the states. After almost
twenty years of boarding he is still faithful to the "old school" style of skating while integrating new original moves into his repertoire.
Currently, Doug can be seen touring anywhere from four to six skateparks a week, as well as making personal appearances across the world. He has had a busy schedule this year, participating in over thirty events. Some of the highlights of this crazy schedule are participating in the Gravity Games; the Van's Summer Invasion Skateboard Series, where he took 1st place; the X-Treme Fest, where he took 2nd place; and numerous television spots on Much Music Television, 54321, Fuel Network, Captain & Casey Show, Out & About Sports, Fox Sports, Planet X and Xcorps TV. Magazine appearances include being on the cover of ThrasherMagazine.com, as well as being featured in Transworld Magazine and Thrasher Magazine.

    Doug has also joined Mike Vallely and Kristian Svitak on Negative One Grip
Tape's pro team. Other pro sponsorships include SoBe, Ogio Backpacks, NSS
Shoes, Softrucks, X-Air Deodorant, Ollie Pop Bubblegum, Yocaher Skateboards,
and Ninja Bearings. Doug's pro signature models, Doug Brown Alien and Doug
Brown Bunny are in national distribution and are available in skateshops
across the globe. Notable causes include his involvement with Make-A-Wish Foundation, Skate4Cancer, D.A.R.E. America and his own Got Air Program.
