RPRT youth division skater Jake Meyerson has been tapped by retail giant Target to skate in an up coming commercial to be shot in Long Beach at the end of the month. The campaign will air nationwide on TV and the web and will feature Jake.
RPRT congratulates Jake on his first booking. Last year his brother Mikah booked a spot riding BMX for kids’ television network Nick Kids.
As the next qualifier with the highest point score in the Street League Pro Open, Louie Lopez has been bumped up to skate in the L.A. stop of the series on 7/11. With the injury of Sean Malto, Louie has been called up to fill his spot. With a tight course with low rails and fun tranny, Louie should do really well at the event being held at USC’s Galen Center and airing on Fox Sports 1.
Best of luck Louie!
