Aaron Feinberg won the X-Games on his 16th birthday and never looked back. He was a skater with a park image who wasn’t all about the park and felt the need to prove it. The evolution of his skating, combined with some calculated sponsor choices, created the path for Aaron to become one of the most respected street skaters in the game. These days the world is a different place for Aaron and we look back on his career and talk about he’s up to today.
