Alex Midler

Skateboarding has grown substantially over the past decade and is on a exponential scale. People are constantly being driven towards this innovative ever-expanding sport. This article came out about a year ago and it is about the world famous rapper Lil Wayne and how he was inspired to start his skating career by 14 year old Amateur skater Alex Midler,

Alex Midler is not my favorite skater out there, but I will admit that he is on his way to be one of the best. At 14 years old and sponsored by giant companies such as Real, Thunder, and Spitfire, he proves to be a big inspiration and drives people to believe that they can make it up there with perseverance  and determination. He is a great image for people looking into joining the skating community and making a difference.
