"YOUNG GUNS" ON KHIRO:
[CHECK OUT JADE'S VIDEO! ]
JADE PIERCE
Jade Pierce was born on April 15, 1995 and began skateboarding after receiving his first board on his 7th birthday. Jade has a style that is all about speed and style. He skates street, parks, pools, pipes-anything that's out there. But Jade really loves to skate bowls and big tranny parks in his home state of Idaho. He is not one to back down from the big air. Nothing puts a bigger smile on his face than hitting a huge front side air out of a bowl. He currently rides for local board shop heroes, The Boardroom, in Boise, Idaho and he was recently picked up by Evil Brand Clothes. He has some lofty goals for the upcoming competition season and plans to compete in every contest he can. He asks all to look for him at all his favorite parks in Idaho. Ft Boise, Hailey, Ketchum, McCall, and Buhl. Look these parks up and make a road trip to Idaho to skate with Jade. Jade is equally as impressive on the snow as he is the concrete. Music is also a huge part of Jade's life as he loves to play guitar and trumpet. He also spends a lot of time with his two Jack Russell Terriers, Sam and Oz. Jade is sponsored Khiro and believes highly of all their products.
