Chaz Pineda is the face of the future of skateboarding. With pure determination and Texan-bred skills, he’s on a mission to massacre coping everywhere he can find it.

Chaz is grinding his way over the top and leading the new breed with daily devotion to conquering big transitions.<\/p>\n

“I’ve got a little bit of an old school style. I’ve been skating with a lot of the old Texas pros like Ken Fillion, Troy Chason and Craig Johnson. I kind of have their style, except with new stuff.”<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n
