David Reyes is a professional skateboarder from Denver, Colorado currently based in Yonkers, New York. He has gained sponsorship from some of the skateboarding world’s leading brand names, including Grizzly, Spitfire Skateboards, Thank You, Liquid Death, 303 Board Skate Shop, and many others. He has built a large online following, most notably on Instagram where he has over 71,000 followers. His skills have been featured in the leading likes of Thrasher magazine and on The Berrics’ YouTube channel.
As someone from a low-income neighbourhood whose life was changed for the better by skateboarding, Reyes recently became part of a new, New York-based initiative called Voices of Interest. Founded in 2017, the project has collaborated with some of the best athletes and sportspeople from all kinds of disciplines and aims to help improve the lives of young people through positive sporting experiences. Reyes can be seen in their promotional videos, showing off the skills that have made him a popular and enduring pro. He can also be heard talking about how skateboarding, and sports in general, can enrich the lives of working-class youths.
