Many mothers would have a few choice words for their son if they put a hole in their kitchen floor from constantly riding a skateboard in the house. But Jen Brusco rewarded her son, Mitchie, with the chance to go on the new reality TV show “Next X.”

“(The floor) was a gradual thing and it rains so much,” said Jen.

The eight-part short-form series called “Next X” will debut Monday, June 8 at 7:05 p.m. on Disney XD channel and was taped at Camp Woodward West, an Xtreme Sport facility in California near Bakersfield. The show itself was a surprise for Mitchie, much like his mother’s reaction to the kitchen floor.

She found it difficult to keep the surprise about the show quiet.

“I was really excited,” Jen said. “I knew about a month in advance. Him not knowing and the anticipation was really cool.”

Mitchie is not the average skater and his talents have not grown at an average pace. The Kirkland 12-year-old began riding a skateboard when he was three years old. He caused a stir in the action sports world when at age 5 he beat out every skateboarder in the country under the age of 8 to compete at the Gravity Games, where he skated against competitors as old as 29.

“I was five-and-a-half but I remember a little,” said Mitchie of the Grativy Games experience in Cleveland, Ohio.

Since then, Mitchie has been competing at the Amateur Level in vert skating. His popularity and natural talent led to him being chosen for the show.

“Next X” pairs up five young up-and-coming kids in their respective action sport with professionals, who mentor the next generation. Mitchie was paired up with his long-time idol and friend Lincoln Ueda.

“It was really cool coming into camp and you go up the ramp and see the pros. I was pretty surprised,” Mitchie said. “He is a great influence. I have known him a while but it was great to really get to know him.”

Ueda is renowned for the highly technical skateboarding tricks and earned the Vert Bronze Medal at X Games Brazil last year. He is also featured in the ESPN X Game Skateboarding video game. ESPN also helped to produce the show.

“I got a call from Disney explaining what the show was about,” said Ueda, who took time away from his family for the two-day TV shoot. “I think it will inspire kids to follow their dreams, which applies to everyday life.”

One of the tricks that Mitchie learned from Ueda was a Miller Flip, where an athlete does a 360 off a half pipe with his hand on the structure.

“It is a lot of fun,” said Mitchie, who wants to eventually turn pro. “We’re trying to get more kids to try vert and it is fun to promote it.”

Ueda said Mitchie is a “great kid. I had seen footage of him at a Florida event and he has really progressed in the last two years.”

Mitchie also learned to land a backside 540, where an athlete does a one-and-a-half turn in the air.

“It took me a long time to learn that trick,” said Mitchie, who is homeschooled. “It just took muscle memory and then I finally landed it.”

Mitchie has even invented a trick himself called “Death to Johhny.”

His accomplishments include taking third place at the LG Action Sports championships and he competed in the Tampa Am in 2009. Inspired by Mitchie’s accomplishments, Triple 8 created a helmet for him naming it “Little Tricky” after the young athlete’s nickname.

As for that kitchen floor, Jen doesn’t regret buying her son that toy Taz skateboard.

“He is so confident in what he does,” said Jen. “It is amazing to watch him.”
