MARIAH DURAN: Everything I Did Was For Skateboarding | X GAMES PODCAST

Duration: 51:12 Views: 8.8K Submitted: 3 years ago

Description: In the first few years of X Games competitions, Mariah Duran was still slinging pizzas and doing fundraising to earn the necessary money to travel to competitions. Then, in 2016, Duran earned her first silver medal, and everything changed. She took her earnings, bought a car and went into heavy production mode, which earned her more prestigious placings at comps and the the opportunity for her to skate full-time. Nowadays, the Women's Skateboard Street podium has become a familiar place for Duran to land at X Games. But with competitions taking a back seat this year, Duran isn't slowing down at all. Here, Brando's World of X catches up at home with the Albuquerque native.
