Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins began skating when her brother first introduced her to the sport when she was just six years old. Since then Lyn-Z has skated her way around the world and is currently part of an elite group of professional female skateboarders. Lyn-Z is also one of the few athletes to have successfully skated the monstrous Mega Ramp in Bob Burnquist's backyard. This San Diego native has taken home the gold in skateboarding events at X-Games, was the first woman to land a McTwist, and has a slew of other titles and trophies that she has collected over the years.
