Skating on: Life after a 15-year prison sentence
Justin Curtis was 9 when he first got on a skateboard. It was a new Santa Monica Airlines board, and its deck was painted like a panther. The moment the wheels hit the ground, he dreamed of becoming a professional skater. He spent all of his free time in the skate park and even competed when he was sponsored by 561 Skateboarding, a skate shop in Stuart, Florida.
