Rob Lorifice turned pro in 2004 and quickly established himself as a leading skateboarder. Rob's passion for skateboarding started in Canada at the age of seven. When most kids were playing baseball or basketball, he dedicated his free time skateboarding with friends.
This Californian has been skating vert with Shaun White for years, after first hitting the Mega Ramp when he was only 15. When he's not competing, you might find him at the Ecke YMCA skatepark where he used to skate each summer as a kid.
Rob is known for his technical style, and he loves landing 540s. He is always a top contender, finishing second in the 2010 X Games Big Air Finals and third in the Big Air Rail Jam.
The Lorifice's impressive resume is also home to an eighth place finish in the 2007 Dew Tour Invitational Vert Finals, as well as a seventh place finish in Vert at the 2009 Maloof Money Cup.
