Joey Brezinski, born on July 11, 1980, in California, USA, is a professional street skateboarder hailing from Venice, CA. Known for his technical manual tricks and his favored “backside tail-slide,” Brezinski gained recognition in the skateboarding community for his consistent performance and innovative style. He turned professional in 2003, marking a significant milestone in a career that began in the late 1980s. Over the years, he has cultivated a reputation for dedication and the continuous pursuit of excellence in skateboarding, understanding that a career in the sport requires constant attention and effort to maintain a top position.

Brezinski’s career progression demonstrates a blend of competitive success and entrepreneurial spirit. He notably won the Red Bull Manny Mania contest four times, with his fourth victory occurring in August 2012 in New York City, highlighting his mastery of manual skateboarding. Beyond competition, Brezinski co-founded Andale Bearings in 2010 with fellow professional skateboarder Paul Rodriguez. The brand was established when both athletes sought new bearing sponsors, developing a concept that has since become a recognized name in the skateboarding parts market. This venture showcases his ability to translate his on-board expertise into successful business endeavors.

Throughout his career, Brezinski has secured a diverse range of sponsorships and collaborations, demonstrating his value to various brands. His partnerships include major names such as Red Bull, Cliché Skateboards, Tensor Trucks, and Diamond Supply Co. He has also collaborated on signature collections, such as the “so R.AD.” line with Rusty, which marked the brand’s re-entry into skateboarding in 2010. His involvement extends to product development and team direction, including his role as Pro Sol-team Director for Sol-ti, where he continues to create impactful brands and content within action sports. His work with Footprint Insoles, Grizzly Grip, Val Surf, Autobahn, Team Burrito, Audi, Helas Caps, Ollo Clip, and Visual Skateboards further illustrates his broad industry engagement.
