Pro skater stuns girlfriend by knee sliding into a marriage proposal

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Public proposals often go horrifically, terrifyingly wrong — but this one at the Van’s Pool Party went so right.

Pro skater Alec Beck gave his girlfriend the biggest surprise during an interview when he dropped in to say a few words and slid on his knees into a flawless, traditional, down-on-one-knee proposal. He was barely able to finish asking when his girlfriend, Amelia Brodka said yes.

It was a fist-pump filled expression of glee, while the crowd in attendance cheered the couple.

Amelia explained that the couple don’t just have an anniversary, they have a “Vaniversary” to commemorate when they met at Vans. So deep. So special. Best wishes to the happy couple.
