Meet the Skaters
August 4th, 2007
Ari Mannis
Hello. My name is Ari Mannis. I’m 20 years old and I just finished my second year of college. I can’t wait to skate this summer because it’s what I live to do. I have been skating for over a year and despite the short time I have been skateboarding, I have grown to love it. This trip will not only be an amazing skating experience but it will help raise money for a good cause. By creating this website, and going on the trip, I hope to inspire others to follow their dreams and to help others in need, while having fun and doing what they love.

Jon Andrews
Hey I’m Jon I’m 20 years old and met Ari at college where we were roommates and good friends when he told me his idea to skateboard across America to raise money for a at-risk youth I said “Where do I sign up.” Next year I will be going to Cal State Northridge and I think this will be a great experience to accomplish before starting school. I love to skateboard, and make music. I hope to make a great documentary along the way.
Peace,
-Jon
Dahnny Levine
Hey, I’m Dahnny, I’m 19 years old, and I’ll be a sophomore next year at SFSU. When I found out that I’d be skating, spending time with some cool people and seeing new places while supporting a great cause, I had to sign up. This is going to be a experience of a lifetime and I can’t wait to get it going.

Brian Kahler
I’m Brian I have been skating since I was 13 and longboarding for the past 5 years. I have always done what I could do to benefit the people around me. Naturally when I heard about skate across usa I had to jump on board. I will be meeting new people taking in the America no one sees and gain new experiences everyday while getting kids excited about skating and having everyone understand about our cause with helping at risk youth. Spread the stoke!
