Early life
Dollin was born in Ballina, New South Wales, Australia, but was raised in Katoomba, New South Wales.[2] In a 2006 interview, Dollin stated in relation to his place of origin:
Growing up is growing up. It doesn’t really matter where you are because you don’t really know any better when you’re a kid. I knew I was rich, but that again just teaches you how to waste money. Also, where I grew up is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And I would know; I’ve been everywhere.[3]
In a 2008 interview, Dollin explained that he hates returning to Katoomba because "too many old friends are junkies."[4]
Professional skateboarding
Following Dollin's appearance at the Tampa Am contest, the Stereo skateboard brand agreed to recruit him to its "flow" program. Former professional skateboarder Danny Gonzales recalled thinking at the time: "At 17 the dude was already a wastoid. Later that night when we bar hopped, I kept either seeing or hearing him yelling and screaming for not getting into the bars. I thought, god, this kid’s fuckin’ crazy."[5]
Dollin was asked to ride for the Vans footwear company in 1999 and has identified John Cardiel as his favorite Vans team member.[6] However, in a 2013 interview, Dollin referred to the Vans team as a "family" and declined to nominate a favorite rider.[7]
Sponsors
As of November 2013, Dollin's sponsors are Baker skateboards, Spitfire wheels, Independent Truck Company, Volcom, Vans shoes, and Shake Junt.[8]
Video game appearances
Dollin is featured in the Tony Hawk video games, Tony Hawk's Project 8,[9] Tony Hawk's Proving Ground,[10] and Tony Hawk: Ride.[11][12]
Personal life
As of August 2012, Dollin resides in California, United States (US), in a shared residence with fellow professional skateboarder Chima Ferguson. The residence is an apartment and is located in West Hollywood. Ferguson has described Dollin as "very domestic", "real clean", and a proficient cook.[13]
