TEAM IDOL Skaters

YTZAC AVILA

Real Name: Ytzac Avila
Nickname: Xac
Origin: Long Island, raised in Florida and now resides in Jamaica, Queens.
Affiliation: Team Idol

This talented skater began his journey in the tenth grade and has been going strong for the past six years. Skating was an outlet in order to release life’s everyday stress. Xac honed in on his skills over the years being one of the most competitive skaters in his region. He possesses the incredible ability to make a difficult trick look as if it was routine. Xac takes extreme pride in his trademark trick “The Impossible”. This is one of the most difficult tricks for a skater to perform. Xac’s unorthodox style of skating has earned him praise from the skating community. His athleticism allows him to stand out amongst the rest. Other than skating, some of his other hobbies are listening to music, writing poems, and short stories, as well as playing the bass guitar. Xac’s talent doesn’t stop at skating — he is also the lead bass guitar player in a band that fuses jazz, rock, and Spanish music. As a member of TEAM IDOL, Xac looks to become a major force at competitions and bring forth a style that will shine in any division, any time and any place.

BASIM MILLER

Real Name: Basim Miller
Nicknames: Milton (Lil DareDevil)
Hometown: Jamaica, New York
Affiliation: Team Idol

Jamaica, Queens is where the saga starts. Milton has been skating for 6 years and has accomplished a level of excellence that can only be accomplished by those far more seasoned. Milton is truly the daredevil of the TEAM IDOL family. He will try and master the most unusual tricks just to be the best.

His favorite trick is the heel-flip but he also enjoys skating stairs just for the thrill. Milton has learned to evolve his skating ability and separate street skating from competitive skating and for a 6-year baby to the skate game, that is rare. Milton states, “My stance is regular and I can still skate street.” Kenny Anderson, his brother Sabree, his mother and good friend Xac, are just a few of the skaters and people that Milton looks up to for guidance and inspiration. Milton also looks to skate videos for this inspiration and looks to be in a few like: DVS Skate more, FLIP Sorry, Yeah Right, etc.

Skating is a huge part of Milton’s life. He skates sometimes from New York to New Jersey but he also has other hobbies like playing music i.e., the drums and the trumpet. Currently Milton is the premier skater for TEAM IDOL and what we call the daredevil of the team. Milton looks to be a skate competitor nightmare just by his drive and ability to let nothing come between him and his goal with anything he does.
