A couple months ago, while scrolling through the depressing wasteland that is Instagram, we came across a kid with a massive Monster Energy® logo tatted right in the middle of his chest. We had no idea if the 1×1 ft. toxic-green “M” tattoo was part of some new viral challenge, or if this kid was genuinely a fan of the heinous logo. He even went to Nyjah’s birthday party (on the condition that he remain shirtless the whole night), and supposedly made a deal with some Monster® reps there.
Eventually we said fuck it and when we were out in LA last week, we met up to learn more. What we found was a true Monster® monster.
Monster Kid® is 110% committed to the green stuff. He fell in love with Monster® at first sip, and he’s since dedicated his life to being the first kid to go pro exclusively for Monster®.
He doesn’t have a job, he doesn’t skate street, and he doesn’t care if he has a heart attack before he turns 25. Monster® or die, pretty much.

This kid will easily be the biggest pro skateboarder in a few years
He turns 21 monster energy puts him in a program to skate at Woodward every month with a trainer/ instructor and in few years he’ll shred just as hard or if not better then Alex Middller or jagger Eaton
The irony is this would seriously work there’s a Reason Red Bull markets their kids so heavily after getting them young from Woodward and it’s that being young you have no fear and learning is easier topped of with the best skateparks and coach’s you can make a lot of progress in a short amount of time at skateboarding
