Steve Berra is an American professional skateboarder. Steve Berra began his skateboarding career in Omaha, Nebraska at the age of 14. In 1989, Steve Berra met skating legend Tony Hawk in Nebraska. The two forged a friendship over their love for all things skateboarding. At the age of 18,Berra quit his affiliation with Blockhead to turn pro for and start Birdhouse Skateboards, along with Hawk, Jeremy Klein, and Willy Santos. While with Birdhouse, the 23-year-old Hawk counseled Berra on many things, leading to his initial forays into acting. In 1992, Berra left Birdhouse Skateboards, a move he... admits, was due to being "young, misunderstood, and silly." Several months later, Berra joined the Foundation Skateboards team, skating in their 1993 video Super Conductor Super Collider. In 1998, Berra teamed up with Birdhouse Skateboards again to create the best-selling skateboarding video of all time, The End. In one of the most notable scenes of the movie, Berra's death is simulated with a shot of his decapitation, filmed with the aid of a professional-quality dummy.
