LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Theres no exact science to turning pro within skateboarding. Its not as easy as getting drafted to a pro team straight out of college. Quite the contrary, its a nebulous process that varies from skate brand to brand.Ryan Clements, founder of The Boardr and The Boardr Am series, knows a thing or two about the process. Yes, its a ton of hard work and commitment, but it also includes skating contests and getting noticed.Contest series like The Boardr Am actually help build value for younger skaters to ultimately go pro, says Clements.A founder of The Boardr alongside Rob Meronek, Clements started skateboarding in 1985 and eventually moved into a general manager position at the Skatepark of Tampa, longtime home of the Tampa Am and Tampa Pro series. Eventually, Clements expanded into athlete management and founded Excel Management before heading out on his own with Meronek to found The Boardr, which began their amateur series at the start of 2015.Along the way, Clements and The Boardr met a young teenager from Jacksonville, Florida named Paul Hart that was skating amateur contests and getting noticed. Not long after, Hart started receiving free decks from a French-based brand known as Cliché. After getting hooked up by the brand, he was asked to go on a team tour, but declined because of school, eventually deciding to drop out of high school and move to Anaheim, California. He was 17.And even at a young age, he knew what he needed to do for his skating to progress from amateur to pro.ddddddddddddI respect the process, Hart told skate podcast The Nine Club last month. I was just some Floridian d**k dog, and I needed to keep doing what I was doing. Ive just gotta be myself and let it happen.Hart appeared in Cliché videos, went on trips, and remained easy to work with while progressing his skating. He skated The Boardr Am L.A. stop in 2015.Eventually, Hart was added to the amateur team in 2015, and not long after, Cliché asked him to start filming a new video part, a part that would eventually become his In Hart We Trust pro part for Thrasher Magazine. They just told me to start filming. About half a year went by and they told me that they want to turn me pro and that became my pro part, says Hart.The event was well timed. Alongside his new video release, Cliché debuted his pro board at a pro party for Hart, with interviews from Thrasher and The Nine Club not far behind. A signature pro wheel from Bones followed a week later, and last week, Hart headed out to China with the FP Insoles crew to film.Im just stoked to be in this vibe skating, says Hart. Im just blessed to be in this position.And yeah, maybe legit am contests helped Paul turn pro just a little bit, adds Clements.The Best of The Boardr Am 2016 premieres on Mon., Oct. 10 on XGames.com.
