| Taig got his start on roller skates, but took to inlines in no time at all. In addition to being a decorated vert competitor, Taig is an accomplished self-taught magician, pianist and tennis player. He was a former World and X Games Gold Medalist. In his pro career, he has medaled at almost every competition he has entered. In 2001, he became the first rollerblader to complete a double back flip in competition |
