It was just a year ago where fourteen-year-old Curren Caples competed against men twice his age at X Games 16, en route to a fifth place finish at Skateboard Park eliminations.
With so much talent and technical ability at a young age, most can’t help but compare Caples to Ryan Sheckler who got his start at a young age as well. Caples holds the ability to mix vert skills, speed and technical trickery in to his runs all while leaving crowds in awe. While Curren preps for this week’s X Games 17, check out our five favorite Curren Caples videos.
