My name is Toby Hardin. Im from Texas, but my father is a colonel in the Air Force, so we move around a lot. Weve been living in Germany for the last six years. I had just made the starting lineup on my soccer team when The Colonel dropped a bomb on me: we were moving to Florida. Once we got there, I found out that skateboarding was king. The sport is the opposite of everything Id been taughtand everything I believed. Im definitely an outsider in this town, where locals rule. Before long, though, I learned to skate, and I soon realized that the sport is an extension of me. I love the thrill of nailing a difficult trick and flying through the air.
