Gui Khury just hit a major moment in his skating life: he’s officially pro for Birdhouse Skateboards. And how he found out was something straight out of a dream.
Gui’s been stacking accomplishments for years. He’s won gold at the X Games more than once, and he’s made headlines with Guinness World Records. But turning pro for Birdhouse? That hits differently. Especially when skateboarding legend Tony Hawk himself shows up to hand over your first pro model.
It all went down during an X Games session. Gui was out there doing his thing, riding the vert ramp like it was just another day. Out of nowhere, The Birdman pulled up with a board in hand. But this wasn’t just any board. It had Gui’s name on it, his graphics, everything. It was the real deal.
You could tell Gui was caught off guard. He stared at the board for a second, like he wasn’t sure if he was dreaming or not. Then it clicked. The grin on his face said it all. He was stoked. And everyone around him knew just how much it meant.
Gui’s been skating since he was a little kid, and his dedication is clear every time he drops in. He’s one of those people who just lives for it. Every trick, every session, every contest. He’s been putting in the work.
Birdman welcoming him to the Birdhouse pro team is more than just a big moment for Gui.
Congrats to Gui. This is one of those moments you remember forever. And it’s even cooler when the person who helped shape modern vert skating is the one who tells you you’re ready.
