By , About.com Guide

Following Pro Skater Twitter Tweets can be a lot of fun - you never know what they'll tweet! Maybe they'll mention where they're demoing, or just skating for fun. Maybe they'll tweet about their new projects or gear. Or the pro skaters will just tweet something funny!

Here is a list of several pro skater's Twitter accounts:

  • Rob Dyrdek - Rob has been a great pro skater to follow for several years. He tweets funny stuff, stuff about his shows, personal messages - he's a fun guy to follow.
  • Ryan Sheckler Twitter - Ryan posts personal messages, and promotes a lot through his Twitter.
  • Tony Hawk Twitter - Tony Hawk posts a lot - there are personal messages, pictures, news about his projects, and all kinds of stuff.
  • Bam Margera - Bam posts a million pictures, and his tweets all sound insane. Which makes him a great person to follow on Twitter! He's entertaining!
  • Paul Rodriguez - P-Rod posts a lot as well, with lots about his friends and family, what he's up to, and skateboarding.
  • Bucky Lasek Twitter - Bucky tweets about what he's interested in - skateboarding and rally racing! He also tweets about some funny stuff, and projects that he's working on.
  • Rune Glifberg Twitter - Rune posts all about his life - you get to see what he's up to. His tweets are often sweet, and sometimes not in English!
  • Terry Kennedy Twitter - Terry's Twitter is full of all caps and exclamation points. Very loud. And also, a fair share of special online deals.

  • Mike Mo Capaldi - as of writing this, he has yet to tweet anything. Even though he has hundreds of followers!
  • Jason Ellis - Ellis tweets a lot, and half of it is in his own personal language. But the other half is very exciting and entertaining!
  • Sandro Dias Twitter - Sandro posts a good amount, and most of it is in Portuguese. So, if you can read Portuguese, then this is the perfect guy to follow!

  • Christian Hosoi - Christian tweets a lot, and a TON of pictures! His tweets are about what he's up to, his thoughts on stuff, and some about skateboarding.
  • Eddie Elguera - Eddie's tweets are all upbeat, and seem to be talking about either going to church or eating food! There's a lot more to it than that - he's a good guy to follow.
  • Eric Koston - Koston posts a lot of photos and funny stuff, and posts a fair amount, too! He also talks about skateboarding, when he's skating and sometimes where.

He has a few followers, but not many, which makes sense if you lock up your tweets. Why he doesn't just use email, or Facebook? Who knows! It's all very mysterious... But here's Danny Way's Twitter, if you want to check it out!
  • Shaun White - Shaun White is a FANTASTIC guy to follow on Twitter! He's funny, and posts all kinds of links to videos and pics. He's fun, but he doesn't post all that often.

  • Mikey Taylor - Taylor's Twitter is pretty funny. He posts where he's been skating and what's going on in his life, along with funny pictures and stories.
  • Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins - Lyn-Z's Twitter is full of her activities, her family, and what she's up to. Her life is pretty amazing, so it's interesting to follow!
