How old were you when you first started doing this? Have you had any bad injuries?

Do you do anything besides skateboarding?

CHAD SHETLER

Welcome to the boards.

What's your favorite non-"extreme" sport?

WHEN I FIRST STARTED THERE WAS NO PARKS SO I SKATED EVERYTHING THAT I COULD

I STARTED SKATING WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND YES I'VE HAD MANY INJURIES BUT THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU GET UP AND TRY IT AGAIN

I ALSO SNOWBOARD, SURF,RIDE MY DIRT BIKE, PLAY GUITAR, LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

If you weren't doing this extreme sport what would you be? Do you have a day job?

I DO HAVE A DAY JOB THAT ALLOWS ME TO SKATE, I'M THE TEAM MANAGER FOR A CLOTHING COMPANY CALLED ...LOST

oh and how did you get approached/found to do this for Discovery Channel?? Where do you live?

CHECK OUT THE TEAM AT WWW.LOSTENTERPRISES.COM

I WAS APPROACHED BY DISCOVERY CHANNEL BECAUSE I'M THE TEAM MANAGER AND THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF I HAD ANY TEAM RIDERS THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN DOING ANY KIND OF STUNTS. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS SO IT WAS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY. I LIVE IN ORANGE COUNTY.

Where's the high in skateboarding that keeps you doing it?

TRYING A TRICK THAT YOU HAVEN'T DONE AND TRYING AND TRYING AND THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU FINALLY LAND IT..

Have you ever ridden with people like Tony Hawk, or Bam Margera?

I've skated with Tony Hawk but I haven't skated with Bam. Tony lives near by and one of my team riders Jesse Fritsch has a radio show with Tony and skates in BOOM BOOM Huck Jam tour

It must be rockin' to be pro. Do you have any complaints about it?

Thanks Chad for answering our questions tonight
and sharing your love of skateboarding with us.
