Juscamaita now coordinates the Saturday practices and other bulldogs who are fans of Biuf on his Facebook page are welcomed to attend and learn from the master.

“All the bulldogs who follow Biuf on Facebook come and get together, we have fun, we get on the skateboard and practice the sport,” Juscamaita said.

Juscamaita said he has plans to formally open a legitimate skateboarding school to teach other dogs how to skateboard and use the profits to help dog shelters.
