Sluggo Boyce

Robert Doucet Boyce, known as Sluggo, is a professional skateboarder, snowboarder, break-dancer, gymnast, stuntman and businessman from Vancouver, British Columbia. He was born in Victoria, British Columbia, where he started as a gymnast and won the Western Canadian Championships at thirteen, and he also did breakdancing, winning several competitions and placing fifth in a North American break-dance contest. He began his skateboard career at sixteen on the advice of a classmate, and a friend suggested the name Sluggo because of his supposed resemblance to the character in the comic strip Nancy. He then honed his vertical skateboard skills.
