Charles Michael ‘Bucky’ Lasek (born December 3, 1972 in Dundalk, Maryland) is a professional skateboarder. [1]
But for Bucky Lasek, it is just another page in the story of this incredibly talented skater’s life. [2]

Lasek turned pro for Powell in 1990 — but by this time, skateboarding and vert skating particularly began to lose popularity, and Lasek’s career waned. [1]
In 2000, Bucky Lasek became the first skateboarder ever in the history of X Games to win gold in two consecutive years with back to back wins in 1999 and 2000. [2]
When ESPN took vert skating under its wing as part of the X Games in the mid 1990s, Lasek’s career made a comeback and he soon became one of the most recognizable skateboarders. [1]
Today he is considered one of the world’s most consistent Vert skateboarders, with a contest repertoire that includes more difficult tricks than any other skater in competition. [...] He continues to maintain his place among the top of the Vert world, taking 2004 titles in the Vans Triple Crown, Gravity Games and the Slam City Jam. [2]
Bucky Lasek was discovered by Stacy Peralta in Baltimore, Maryland. [4]
He frequently masters tricks that are considered too gimmicky and technical by most riders to do in a contest, and lands them with stunning regularity. [1]

He is one of only two skaters to flip his board in to an invert (Heelflip Frontside Invert), and the only one to do a 720 on the vert and land backwards (forward-to-fakie Indy 720, known as a “MacKenzie”). [1]

Powell sponsored Lasek, and he made his video debut in the 4th Bones Brigade video, Public Domain (1988). [1]
