Chaz Ortiz auf DC
 

Der Nachwuchsripper Chaz Ortiz, der im Alter von 14 Jahren schon Sponsoren wie Zoo York und Silver aufweisen kann, darf nun auch DC Shoes als neuen Sponsor begrüßen. Da er einen Contest nach dem anderen abräumt und nicht über wenig Coverage in den einschlägigen Magazinen klagen kann, wundert das nicht. Wenn er mit beiden Beinen auf dem Boden bleibt, geht da in Zukunft noch einges. DC haben auf ihrer Seite einen Welcome Clip, Interview, Bilder, Biographie……. online gestellt.

Press Release:

DC WELCOMES CHAZ ORTIZ TO ITS EXCLUSIVE SKATEBOARDING TEAM

February 2, 2009 - Vista, CA - DC is pleased to welcome amateur phenom Chaz Ortiz to the illustrious DC Global Skateboarding Team. Check out dcskateboarding.tv for Chaz's new team page, plus an exclusive new interview and video.
Hailing from Carpentersville, Ill, the 14-year-old leads a life of opposites-a normal family life at home as he attends public school in the Chicago suburb, and a crazy life on the road, traveling and skating in front of 15,000 screaming fans. Off board, Chaz is a super humble kid; on-board, he possesses a rare combination of raw skateboarding talent and polished style. His first boost into skateboarding fame came in 2005 while on a trip to NYC, where DC brand manager Jefferson Pang and Harold Hunter (Zoo York) spotted him. From there he took off, collecting solid sponsors and steadily earning credibility.
When it comes to the contest circuit, Chaz has been on a rampage for the last two years, with '08 proving extra successful. After kicking off the summer with 2nd place at Damn Am (Minneapolis, MN), Chaz tore through AST Dew Tour stops, chalking up five top four finishes (including two firsts) in route to becoming the 2008 Dew Tour Skateboarding Champion.
"I'm thrilled to welcome Chaz to the team, and excited about everything he brings to DC," said Ken Block, Co-founder and Chief Brand Officer, DC Shoes. "Thanks to legends like Danny, Colin, Dyrdek, Kalis, and the rest of the guys that have represented our brand over the last 15 years, the DC skateboard team has a reputation as the best in the industry. The addition of young, extremely talented skateboarders like Chaz reinforces that reputation, and ensures the DC legacy will continue for generations to come."
"It feels good to be a part of the crew again," said Chaz about his addition to the team. "I've liked the shoes since I was a little kid. I look forward to skating with a lot of the dudes, and I think things will be good!"
