Known as "The Silent Assasin", Sven Boekhorst earned his nickname from his stealthy style and killer instincs. He steadily worked his way up the rankings until 2000 when he picked up seven Gold medals in Park, including the X Games, Gravity Games, and World Championships. He skates with speed and and precision and makes even the most mind-boggling lip trick look effortless. Toward the end of 2002 season, Sven broke his ankle and was forced to stay off his skates for seven months. In 2003, he returned to win the X Games Global Championships park competition. Then, following an even quicker recovery from a broken elbow, he claimed a bronze medal at the X Games. With so much talent on Park, it's easy to overlook his Vert skills, but he consistently surprises his peers by finishing near the top. Sven recently graduated with a degree in Economics.
