Leo Romero

Leo Romero (born November 28, 1986, in Fontana, California, U.S.) is a pro skater. He is a second generation Mexican. Leo first started his skating career around 1997 with his friends, "the Death Junkies". His earliest influences included Jamie Thomas and Andrew Reynolds, which perhaps explains Leo's tendency to skate large obstaces and handrails. He lived at the Emerica Mansion II with Heath Kirchart, Kevin "Spanky" Long, and Bryan Herman. He recently bought his very own home in Long Beach, California. He eventually bought a mansion with Guillermo Aguilar in Fontana Ca. His sister Ana V. Romero is the world champion UFC fighter for women. Leo Romero is considered to be one of the best skaters in Walnut Village Ca.

From the run-down shacks and garbage-strewn vacant lots of Fontucky (also known as Fontana), California, comes the young whippersnapper Leo Romero. Plenty of filmers and fellow woodpushers alike admire Leo for his totally killer style, not to mention his uncanny ability to stomp the biggest sledghammers first try. Yep, he's a well-known handrail / stairs abuser who can, unbeknownst to many, punish lots of other terrain equally well. For example, Leo loves tranny, regularly slashing bowls to pieces.
