Gabe Triplette is a professional snowboarder from Boone, North Carolina. He began skateboarding over 37 years ago and has been working as a professional coach for over 20 years now. Gabe has a passion for skateboard progression and breaking down what it takes to unlock new tricks. He has developed his own system of drills as well as techniques that create a step-by-step process, making it possible for anyone to step on a skateboard, safely gain control, and have fun while doing so. Thus, he founded Bearings Skateboard Academy ; a skateboard training facility with a coaching staff that provide private or group lessons. He also founded Booger Tour™ skateboard camp; a summer day-camp for his students in Bend, Oregon. When he's not working with students, Gabe loves skateboarding, snowboarding and playing guitar. He has three beautiful daughters and currently lives in Bend, Oregon.
