Dave Coyne

Dave was generous enough to be my first former pro on the podcast, and I couldn't think of a nicer guy to do it. Hailing from Bridgeport, Ohio, Dave went pro for Maple Skateboards in the year 2000, following breakthrough parts in the independent San Diego video "Trouble Shooters", Maple's "Black Cat", and the landmark "The Storm" by Osiris, one of the most discussed and memorable videos of the era. Dave has also skated for several smaller companies such as Germ, Effort, and Sound skateboards. He has never slowed down from skating, still putting out ripping footage to this day. Dave's story of moving to California with nothing but a few possessions and a dream is particularly inspiring.
