“I just knew I was gonna figure this out.”
The internal monologue of Canadian skateboarder Matt Berger at the age of “eight or nine” was one of hope that one day he’d have a career doing what he loved.
“I remember thinking… I have to do this,” Berger told Daily Hive in an interview.
It’s safe to say he’s figured it out.
Berger’s biggest stage yet comes at next month’s Tokyo Olympics, where the 29-year-old will be one of three athletes representing Canada in the skateboarding competition, alongside Andy Anderson and Micky Papa. Berger and Papa will be competing in the street event, with Anderson wearing the maple leaf in the park event.
