Sgt. Gregory Opoien, a Soldier with the 34th Red Bull Infantry Division, spends his time kick-flipping, grinding and popping on a black and red skateboard, Opoien’s third since his deployment began 17 months ago.
Opoien, a Bloomington, Minn., native, is what can be called a skateboard fiend. His two first two boards were wrecked, one in Joint Airbase Balad, where Opoien was with the 34th Combat Aviation Brigade, and one in Contingency Operating Base Basra, where Opoien was transferred after he extended his tour.
