Hassan rips anything - vert, mini-ramps, street, nightclubs - one of the most complete acts in the sport of skateboarding. His diverse bag of tricks has earned Omar a world class reputation and afforded him a lucrative career traveling around the world to skate contests and promotional demos. Omar's success has allowed him to invest in a skate company of his own, Formula One. Despite his hectic schedule Omar proves his talents aren't strictly limited to skateboarding. Word is, Omar shoots a mean game of golf, surfs unreal and snowboards at a professional level.

Considered a pioneer, Cara-Beth Burnside has built a career out of proving she can skate as good as her male counterparts. Since the women's skate scene is almost nonexistent, Cara-Beth has had to skate against men to satisfy her competitive nature. It's turned her into a better skater, and turned many a male skater red with embarrassment when she's blown their doors. She's an accomplished snowboarder as well, often featured in the mags pulling gutsy moves that have become her trademark. Despite her hectic schedule, Cara-Beth does find time to kick back. Her idea of relaxation: burning candles and incense and reading a good book.
