11. Chico Brenes
  March 8, 2009
Chico Brenes is a prime example of the sometimes clich?? term "Living The American Dream." Raised in the midst of a brutal civil war in his homeland of Nicaragua, Chico came from humble beginnings to the United States and has since made an indelible mark in the skateboard history books. Not one to forget his roots, Chico returns to Nicaragua for his Firsthand. His motives are simple. Spend time with his family, including his father whom he hasn't seen in five years, share his countries beauty and culture with his fellow American skateboarders and finally, to give back to Nicaragua and help strengthen the burgeoning skate scene of his homeland. Whether he's jumping off waterfalls, milking cows, hosting contests or exploring the country for skate spots with his friends, Chico's Firsthand is filled with the kind of imagery and events that you just don't see everyday.
  $1.99
