	Athletes - Brian Lotti

Brian Lotti is a famous ex-professional skateboarder. He rose to fame in the skateboarding world in the late 1980s while riding for the now-defunct skateboard company H-Street.

As one of the originators of today's technical street-skating, Brian Lotti brought several tricks to the forefront of skateboarding such as the big spin and the frontside bluntside. He also invented the backside tailslide flip out.

Brian Lotti's popularity peaked in the early 1990s while he was sponsored by skateboard company Planet Earth and made a famous part for the 1991 Planet Earth video Now N' Later. After moving on to ride for Blind Skateboards, Lotti's lack of skateboard footage (except a short section in Plan B Skateboards' Virtual Reality) led to a decline of his name recognition in the skateboarding world. He retired in 1996 to focus on his art career.

Brian Lotti's most recent appearance in the skateboarding world has been as the director of a film called "1st and Hope" about a group of friends skating through Los Angeles.
