Cara-Beth Burnside

Cara-Beth Burnside, nicknamed "CB" (born July 23, 1971, in Orange, California, United States), is a professional skateboarder and snowboarder and ranks amongst the top female athletes in these sports in the world. She was the first president of the Action Sports Alliance. Burnside started skating in men's amateur skating competitions in the 1980s due to the lack of women's skate contests. During this time, Burnside started to learn to snowboard due to the lack of professional opportunities for female skaters. As a skateboarder, Burnside has won more than 16 titles in competitions such as the X Games, All Girl Skate Jam, Vans Triple Crown, Slam City Jam and Soul Bowl, and in 2004 she was named Female Vert Skater of the Year by World Cup Skating. She has received a total of 5 Summer X Games medals for skateboarding. In 1989, Burnside became the first woman to appear on the cover of Thrasher Magazine and in 1999, she became the first woman to have a signature skate shoe. Burnside was named TransWorld Skateboarding's female vert skater of the year in 2004. In 2015, Burnside was inducted in to the Skateboarding Hall of Fame.
