John Cardiel

John Cardiel is an American skateboarder born in San Jose, California in 1973 and raised in Half Moon Bay and Grass Valley. He has been a core member of Anti-Hero since Julien Stranger founded it in 1995. In 2004 a trailer hit him on a filming trip in Australia and a spinal injury left doctors doubting he would walk again; he recovered and now builds custom bikes through Break Free Customs. He entered the Skateboarding Hall of Fame in 2015.
