Talk about not ever giving up.
Sidelined by a traumatic brain injury for more than six months, pro skateboarder Adam Taylor has been OK’d by his doctor to compete in Skateboard Vert this week at X Games Los Angeles.
Taylor was injured in October of 2010 during vert practice at the Dew Tour’s season finale in Las Vegas and again while snowboarding last January.
