Skateboard Creator Builds Business on Performance

Skateboarding runs in the Tashman family, although not on the paternal side. His mother, who also grew up religious, skateboarded when she was a kid. She was sponsored by a local Velcro company. \”She took her old roller skates and nailed them to a two-by-four for her first skateboards,\” Tashman said. Since he was 3 years old, \”she would attach me to my skateboard and pull me down hills and our neighbor\’s empty swimming pool,\” he said. \”She always wanted me to be a cantor, though.\”
