8 Year Old Sponsored Skater Twins

Wednesday November 15, 2006
Tristan and Nic Puehse Skateboarding TwinsTristan and Nic Puehse are 8 year old fraternal twins blessed with a fearless attitude, and a tough athleticism. This led naturally to them taking up skateboarding right after their 6th birthday. Nic and Tristan Puehse have been skateboarding competitively since, and have sponsors such as Nike 6.0, Powell Skateboards, Bones Swiss, and many many more! Check out the interview!

The Skateboarding Twins will be on the Ellen Degeneres show Thursday November 16th - see the Ellen listing online to see when you can see them! They'll also be on the premier of Fuel TV's new show New Pollution on December 31st. Read the Skateboarding Twins Interview to find out a little more about these guys, what their secret is, and what advice they would give to new skaters - along with what advice their father would give to other parents of skaters out there!
