Nixon&#8217;s first addition to the team since 2011, Curren earned his spot through the policy requiring a team vote of all new additions. A great transitional skater, Curren has joined an elite team that includes Tony Hawk, Paul Rodriguez, Torey Pudwill, Andrew Reynolds, Danny Way, and Rick McCrank.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Curren brings a refreshing style to going big and he makes the hardest tricks look easy,&#8221; said Tony Hawk. &#8220;I&#8217;m honored to be on the same team as him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Curren&#8217;s devotion to skateboarding began when he was very young with him earning a spot onto the legendary Flip Skateboards team at the age of 13 and then turning pro two years ago. An impressive transitional skater, Curren&#8217;s style is heavily influenced by his formative years growing up in the coastal community of Ventura, CA and his time spent surfing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I first saw Curren at the Phoenix Am years ago as a tiny little shredder and was always so impressed with how hard he ripped,&#8221; said Nixon Marketing Manager, Mike Murciano. &#8220;It&#8217;s rad to have watched his metamorphosis from super-grom to stylish full-fledged pro ripper. Curren is, in a sense, skateboarding&#8217;s all terrain vehicle and we are stoked to have him officially on the Nixon team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About Nixon<br \/>\nFounded in 1998 in Encinitas, California, Nixon is a premium, global watch and accessories brand.
