The most well known ones are surfing, Marissa Weltmer skateboarding, motocross, and Daily Titan Staff Writer snowboarding. Surfing is popular in California for an obvious reason: we live relatively close to the beach. Some of surfingʼs most popular rid- ers are Kelly Slater (USA), who has 39 career victories and is spon- sored by Quicksilver; Andy Irons (HAW), who has 24 career victo- ries and is sponsored by Billabong; and Joel Parkinson (AUS) who has 12 career victories and is also sponsored by Billabong. These are arguably the top-three male surfers in the world. The most popular female surfers in the world are: Sofia Mulanovich (PER), who has five career vic- tories and is sponsored by Roxy; Rochelle Ballard (USA), who has 12 career victories and is sponsored by OʼNeill, and Chelsea Georgeson

The crowds at Fullerton basketball games would be so large that fans would pack the upper bleachers and stand to see their Titans in action on the court in the 1980’s. Skateboardingʼs popularity has increased since the 1960ʼs and is an industry that sells all sorts of apparel. Vanʼs skate park at The Block has created popularity in organized skateboarding. “We now are more popular with Pride of the Titans kids who are trying to compete,” said T.J. Mollary of Vans Skate Park. A three part series on the rise, the fall, and the resurgence of Titan Pride at Cal State Fullerton Innovator and entrepreneur Tony Hawk made skateboarding a career royal blue and white as the schoolʼs col- opportunity.

Those are just a handful of peo- ple that contribute to the extreme sports worlds of surfing, skate- boarding, motocross, and snow- boarding. Each person has helped either by inventing or popularizing the sport in which they are a part of and helping entertain with a great ability to do seemingly impossible tricks and stunts.
