A horrible tragedy occurred a few years ago that attracted the attention of people all around the world. A woman went on a walk while leaving her six-month-old daughter, Maksimka, at home alone. The boy had both of his legs amputated as a consequence of serious burns from a fire that broke out. The mother’s parental rights were terminated as a consequence, and Maksimka was sent to a baby home. At age two, he was adopted by a St. Petersburg-based family that started gathering money for his prosthetic limbs, ultimately reaching almost 4.5 million rubles.
Maksimka’s passion for skateboarding expanded as he grew older. His foster mother, Inna Lallav, recalls when she initially gave him a plastic skateboard.
He started going to training sessions with Pavel Mushkin, the head of the local skateboarding association, as he got older. Maksimka was motivated to follow his ambition after meeting skateboarding greats from all around the world thanks to Pavel.
When Maksimka first met Nick Vuychich two years ago, he found a fantastic source of inspiration and encouragement. By reminding Maksimka that he is beautiful the way he is, Nick inspired him to have confidence in his skills and in himself. Maksimka has accomplished a great deal in skateboarding as a result of his diligence and hard work. He has taken part in contests, received honors, and performed demonstrations at civic gatherings.
Maksimka aspires to compete in the Olympics and bring home a gold or silver medal. He travels the world with his family, trains daily, and always has his skateboard on him. Even Tony Hawk, a skateboarding superstar, took notice of Maksimka and shared a video of him on his social media profile.
