World champion skateboarder / organic farmer Bob Burnquist is helping kids and schools with organic gardens, lunches and learning centers in San Diego and Florida with the Action Sports Environmental Coalition. Bob lives with his partner, pro skateboarder Jen O'Brien and their daughter on a 12-acre organic farm in San Diego County that's also the home of the world's largest skateboard ramp. When Bob's not too busy globe-trotting and pulling off daredevil tricks in the Grand Canyon, he's learning and passing on more green wisdom to his friends and fans around the globe. The editor here was lucky enough to catch up with him and his media production partner / epic skate filmmaker Jamie Mosberg a few weeks ago on the farm. Stay tuned and stay inspired.

Visual effects, editorial samples (up through 2006) - updates coming soon
