Skateboarder- Chaz Ortiz

       My second blog will now be about the skateboarder Chaz Ortiz and his career.

      At just 13, Chaz competed in the Free Flow Tour, which is the premier amateur tour. Chaz dazzled the crowd and judges with a vast array of tricks. In the end, he was the 2007 Free Flow Champ! That year, he also took second overall in the Volcom Damn AM contest. He had his first pro contest in June 2008 for the AST Dew Tour's Panasonic Open in Baltimore, where he had a podium finish, placing third behind superstars Sheckler and Rodriguez. Chaz improved the next month by placing second place at the Right Guard Open. As of August 2008, Chaz is has a second place ranking in the AST Dew Tour with 160 points! He was the youngest skateboarder to win a professional event at the age of 15.
