The Rookie Pros Of 2009

2009 was a banner year for more than a dozen ripping young guns, and to reward their success, they’ve all been christened with pro models. These are the skaters that killed it harder than many established pros, and through video parts, interviews, and web clips, they earned the coveted pro status. I don’t think anyone can front on this list, and this ain't even all of them. Congrats guys. And look out, established pros.

Goemann came out with the ender in $lave’s Radio Television video, and his board dropped shortly thereafter.

Brophy’s been on a tear lately, and a powerful ollie matched only by a few is enough to launch him into the world of slightly bigger paychecks.

After enduring countless taunts and good-natured kickoff threats, the stylish Rojo now has boards for sale.

Benny’s top notch performance in the Battle Of The Berrics showed the world that he’s not just stylish, he’s got a flatground game that’s hard to beat.

Chris has been at it for a while, both in the contest arena and on the mean streets. This board was a long time coming.

Few ripped harder than Brock these past few years. And his part in Nike’s Debacle just sealed the deal.

Yep. Mind Field AND Debacle.
