Allen Losi, born in 1965 in California, grew up skateboarding after his best friend’s death. His first sponsors were Skater Crater and Rancho Mediterranea skateparks. His family founded Variflex Skateboards, allowing him to skate with legends like Eddie Elguera. Known for technical skills, Allen became a powerful vertical skateboarder. In the early '80s, he moved to North County San Diego, thriving in the Del Mar Skate Ranch scene and enjoying the best sessions of his life.
