Check out Korey Frank! He is 6 years old and has been skateboarding since he was 3!
A Little History About Korey:
Korey discovered skateboarding at the age of 3 when we were playing a Playstation video game called Tony Hawk. He was fascinated by the game and asked me if it the sport was real, and if the people in the video game were real. After Korey seen the game the next day he found my old skateboard in the garage and brought it in the house and started mimicking the moves that he saw on the video game. After that it all snowballed into what you are witnessing today on his videos and pictures from his web pages.
After skateboarding season ended since he was naturally good at skateboarding we decided to get him his first snowboard at the young age of 4. He started off on the bunny hill at our local ski resort Sundown Mountain. It only took Korey a couple hours to get the hang of it were he needed very little assistance. Two weeks later he was snowboarding and hitting the hills with out any help.

"The old must pass, for each new dawn is a new second to change life. For the better, for the light, instead of dark morals. These roads of uncertain thoughts are only uncertain for those who never felt the love before, truly. For those who have, we will always stand strong, we will always last through the storm"

NewEnglandSkate is now carrying Revolution Skateboard Decks!
The Revdeck is an excellent skateboard, well designed and able to stand up to hard use. A team of testers, including World Skateboard Champion, Tas Pappas, have been putting the Revdeck through sever and heavy use in all types of skateboarding from street to vert. the feedback and knowledge derived from this extensive testing has led to a board that is light, lively, tough and durable, and that performs at a much higher level than wood boards.
The carbon fiber composite Revdeck is significantly lighter than typical wood boards, while being considerably stronger and longer lasting. But perhaps the most impressive factor is the explosive ‘pop’ or super spring action of the Revdeck. This enables skaters to enjoy popular “ollie” tricks with greater ease than on wood boards. Also, the lighter, quicker Revdeck is more responsive and easier to control, which enhances overall skating fun and the development of skaters’ skills.
KEYSTONE SKATEBOARDS
KeyStone Skateboards is a skater owned skateboard company coming to you from PA! These guys take great pride in the East Coast and in American Made Products! Help support your Local shops and buy Keystone Products at NewEnglandSkate!
My parents told me I was diagnosed with CdLS when I was four years old. I got most of the disabilities and struggles that come with CdLS like the health and stomach problems and also a lot of learning problems. At age ten, I also got a g-tube that I still have to this day at age 24. I don't think I would be where I am today without the g-tube. It made me have a better life to this day.
When I was about 13 years old and in the seventh grade, I found skateboarding. It changed my life forever. The minute I saw skateboarding, I fell deeply in love with it. I love the lifestyle and its' culture. I thought to myself that I can't skateboard because I have CdLS and I was different. For the next month or so, all I thought and talked about was skateboarding. After a while, my parents got me my first skateboard. With long practice and dedication, I started learning how to do tricks. That made my love of skateboarding grow stronger and from then on, I knew I wanted to do something with skateboarding. In 2002, I started Suicide Skateboards because of my love for skateboarding. Suicide Skateboards was started with real skateboarders in mind. I strive to bring quality skate products and apparel to people for reasonable prices. Suicide Skateboards is actively involved in the local skate and rock scene and will continue to support the local scene in the future. Suicide Skateboards is about just going out and having fun skateboarding with friends.
In 2004, I got a grant for my business through DORS- Division of Rehabilitative Services from their RISE program (Raising Independence through Self Employment). The RISE program is about giving people with disabilities like myself a shot at their dreams. Currently, I have an on-line store at www.skatesuicide.com. Also, my products are carried in local skate shops in Salisbury, Maryland and Ocean City, Maryland. Right now, besides working at my skateboard business, I work as a cook at a restaurant in Ocean City, Maryland.
I hope one day to make a big impact upon the skateboard world with my business. I still skateboard every chance I get. I never thought that I would be able to skateboard because I had CdLS and I was different from the other kids. Now I know that no matter what you have, if it is CdLS or something else, if you put your heart and mind in to it, you can do anything! I hope that my story can give other families with kids with CdLS hope.
