A. In addition to Professor Schmitt? There are certainly a number of success stories of individuals who got their start in skateboarding. Hollywood successes include award-winning director Spike Jonze, award-winning director Stacy Peralta, and actor Jason Lee (My Name is Earl). Several skateboarders have become successful skatepark designers, including Rob Dyrdek who also now has a successful television show, Rob and Big on MTV. Tony Hawk has become one of the most recognizable sports figures in the world, and now seems that skateboarding will become an official Olympic sport in London in 2012.
