From his humble beginnings in Missoula, Montana to getting his pro skate, Cameron Talbott has been through a lot. The two constants in his life are his mom, Julie, and skating. Skating got him through the challenging times in his life, allowed him to escape and to feel like he belonged in his skate community.
Dedication, consistency and perseverance eventually led him to San Francisco, but part of him will always belong in Missoula spending time in nature. Watch this short documentary to get the behind the scenes on Cameron’s journey. A video by Jeremy Raff.
