Nick Peterson

Fast, loose, wild and unpredictable; Nick Peterson is a living, breathing embodiment of exciting skateboarding. How’d he get that way? He’s a product of the Pacific Northwest, specifically Portland, Oregon, which means he was raised on some of the gnarliest skateparks ever built. Not only was Nick raised to rip bigger than average cement walls but the man has mastered his craft in a way that requires no reservations to sending it. We’re talking parks like Burnside, Tigard and Pier Park to name just a few (if you aren’t familiar, do your homework). He skates his best when he is free to flow at his own pace, nevertheless Nick is not afraid to drop in and compete against the best. Unlike the rest, though, Nick is likely to loosen up by cracking a cold one and not likely to plan his run from start to finish—he’s just built differently.
