Dustin Dollin (born 27 June 1980) is an Australian professional skateboarder who is one of the original team riders for Baker Skateboards[1]
Early life
[edit]Dollin was born in Ballina, New South Wales, Australia, and raised in Katoomba, New South Wales.[2] In a 2006 interview, Dollin stated in relation to his place of origin:
"Growing up is growing up. It doesn't really matter where you are because you don't really know any better when you're a kid. I knew I was poor, but that again just teaches you how to swindle money. Also, where I grew up is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And I would know; I've been everywhere."[3]
In a 2008 interview, Dollin explained that he hates returning to Katoomba because "too many old friends are junkies."[4]
Professional skateboarding
[edit]Following Dollin's appearance at the Tampa Am contest, the Stereo skateboard brand agreed to recruit him to its "flow" program. Former professional skateboarder Danny Gonzales recalled thinking at the time: "At 17 the dude was already a wastoid. Later that night when we bar hopped, I kept either seeing or hearing him yelling and screaming for not getting into the bars. I thought, god, this kid’s fuckin’ crazy."[5]
Dollin was asked to ride for the Vans footwear company in 1999 and has identified John Cardiel as his favorite Vans team member.[6] However, in a 2013 interview, Dollin referred to the Vans team as a "family" and declined to nominate a favourite rider.[7]
Sponsors
[edit]As of September 2016, Dollin's sponsors are Baker skateboards, Spitfire wheels, Independent Truck Company, Volcom, Vans shoes, Happy Hour Sunglasses, Psockadelic and Shake Junt.[8]
Video game appearances
[edit]Dollin is featured in the Tony Hawk video games Tony Hawk's Project 8,[9] Tony Hawk's Proving Ground,[10] and Tony Hawk: Ride.[11][12]
Personal life
[edit]Dollin has been married and divorced twice.[citation needed]
He has a distribution company out of Australia with his friend Ben Mitchell named PD DIST, that helps out Australian and NZ riders. PD Dist carries: Baker Skateboards, Deathwish, Heroin, Vol 4, Happy Hour, Psockadelic and Shake Junt.[citation needed]
