Sergi Nicolas, the Catalan wonder, born in 1985, isn't just another name in the streetboarding realm; he's the heartbeat of the sport and a seven-time world champion (and counting). At 28, with 15 years of skating behind him, Sergi's accolades speak volumes, but it's his chilled demeanor and street-smart savvy that really tell his story.

1. The Champion’s Chronicle
Sergi’s not the type to brag, but his trophy case would do it for him if it could talk. Peeking into his track record is like diving into a streetboarding legend's diary. From clinching the world championship in street in sunny Mallorca in 2010 to conquering the vert podiums, Sergi has been around the world, leaving his mark from the urban sprawls of Austria to the bustling streets of Beijing in 2012. He’s more than a rider; he’s streetboarding royalty who’s been grinding rails and taking names since he could barely call himself a teen.

2. Drop-Inn: The Boarder's Haven
In the heart of Barcelona, there's a spot where the streets and the boards meet - Drop-Inn, Sergi’s own haven for riders. More than just a store, it's the embodiment of his passion for streetboarding. At Drop-Inn, kids swap kickflips for textbooks after school, and the local scene converges, united by the four wheels beneath their feet. It’s a place that’s part shop, part shrine to the sport, and all about the community.

3. The Streetboard Renaissance Man
Sergi isn't just the guy carving up the street scene; he’s been a driving force behind its rebirth. After the crash of major players Snakeboard USA and Anderson Boards in 1997, Sergi stepped in around the year 2000, becoming a key distributor, breathing life into the sport’s sails. Then, in 2002, alongside Gabi Muñoz and Yago Ferrer, he laid the foundation of the very first streetboarding school, Onlystreet, nurturing the next generation of riders.

4. The Legacy of Sergi Nicolas
Imagine a teenager, propelled by the sheer thrill of streetboarding, growing up to be the face of the sport he loves. That’s Sergi for you. A prodigy turned pro, who has lived his life one half-pipe at a time. And it's not just about the titles; it's about the influence, the inspiration, and the indelible mark he's leaving on streetboarding. From nurturing new talent like the awe-inspiring Erik Brun to running the coolest boarding hub in Barcelona, Sergi’s life is a testament to the sport's exhilarating spirit.

Whether he’s catching a tube on the waves or landing a flawless fs smith down a 15 stair rail, Sergi embodies the soul of streetboarding. His laid-back vibe, combined with a relentless pursuit of excellence, continues to propel the sport to new heights. For Sergi, streetboarding isn’t just a sport; it’s a way of life that keeps rolling, no matter where the board takes him.
