Skateboarding career

Lopez first became sponsored by Flip Skateboards at the age of seven. In 2006, Lopez made his video debut in Flip’s Feast Tours. In 2007, Lopez competed in the Tampa Am for the first time. Louie’s combination of technical ledge skills and ability to boost huge in transition made him an immediate threat on the contest circuit. Lopez put down solid performances in the Damn Am series on a board that looked bigger than he did, but showed the world his skating talent was even larger. Since turning pro for Flip in 2013, Louie has been a regular on the Dew Tour, standing on the podium five times and taking second in both Street and Street Style at the Chicago stops in 2015, followed second in Street at the LA stop. His home in Hawthorne, California has a backyard bowl, something he always dreamed of having. [5]
