Paul Rodriguez Jr., son of comedian Paul Rodriguez, is a pro skater and has been pro skating ever since he was 16. When Paul was only 12 years old, his dad bought him his first skateboard, and at 14, he got his own sponsor. The first pro skateboarding superstar with a signature shoe from Nike. Paul states that he's happy and has already achieved his dream in the Skateboarder MAgazine in Sept. 2004. "My goal, my dream has already come true. Every kid's dream is to become a pro skater, you know? Not only have I become a pro skater, but to me personally, I ride for the best sponsors there are. That's even more than I ever expected... I didn't skate to please everyone else. I started skating because I love to skate. you gotta watch out because there will come a point where you'll forget that" Paul is very religious, and has a tattoo of Jesus on his arm. Paul is known in the skatebording world for his consistency and balance. He almost never falls off. Besides all of that he is able to pull off some great tricks. Paul's signature moves are, as he says, not what he can do but where he does it. "My favorite things to skate are ledges, rails, stairs, pretty much anything you can skate." (EXPN)
