Skate Scene Magazine - Special Edition 1999

In the bustling world of skateboarding, where talent and tenacity reign supreme, a new name has been echoing through the streets and skate parks alike: Brian Houchins . This amateur skateboarder, riding for Element Skateboards, has quickly ascended the ranks to become one of the most talked-about skaters of the late 1990s. Known for his breathtaking flip tricks and fearless approach to some of the most challenging urban landscapes, Houchins is redefining the boundaries of street skateboarding.

One of his most remarkable feats to date was witnessed at the iconic downtown fountain, a spot that many skaters approach with a mix of reverence and trepidation. Houchins, with a blend of precision and grace, executed a flawless nollie flip over the fountain's expansive gap, leaving onlookers and fellow skaters in awe. This trick alone has solidified his reputation as a skater unafraid to push the limits of possibility.


However, it was perhaps at the renowned marble bench that Houchins truly showcased his technical prowess and creativity. In a display of skill that has since become the stuff of legend, he landed a 360 flip to crooked grind, followed by a backside flip out, all in one fluid motion. This combination of technical difficulty and stylistic flair has become a benchmark for aspiring skaters, proving that Houchins is not only mastering the craft but also shaping the future of skateboarding.

Element Skateboards, a brand known for its commitment to quality and innovation, has found in Houchins a skater that embodies their ethos. His dedication to the sport and ability to inspire both veterans and newcomers to the skateboarding community has made him an invaluable member of the Element team.

As skateboarding continues to evolve, with new tricks being added to the lexicon and skaters pushing the envelope further than ever before, Brian Houchins stands out as a beacon of innovation and inspiration. His journey from an amateur to a defining figure in the skateboarding world is a testament to his hard work, creativity, and the spirit of skate culture.

With the new millennium on the horizon, the skateboarding community eagerly watches as Houchins continues to redefine what is possible on four wheels and a board. As he prepares for his next big challenge, one thing is clear: the future of skateboarding is bright, and Brian Houchins is leading the charge.
