DiOrr Greenwood is a Dine (Navajo) Tribal Member, skateboarder and artist who designs her own decks using paint, mixed materials and a wood burning tool, or pyrography.
"My cultural background and skateboarding collide through woodworking and art. I do traditional pow-wow dancing that involves leg muscles and feet maneuvers similar to kickflips, ollies and stabilization on a skateboard. I use my Navajo wooden cedar flute-making skills to create custom skateboard decks (cutting, sanding, woodburning and painting). The designs I incorporate relate to nature, my favorite memories and sacred stories"

*I use a wood burning tool to create the linework in my skateboards. My first wood burning tool was given to me by my late uncle Before his murder, who told me “with this wood burner you will be able to burn things with out being destructive.” Uncle gifted me this talent and its my duty to pass my talents to the next generation.

"The feeling I continually get from skateboarding is inspiration. I am inspired to lead a healthy life so I can skate for hours well into my 80s. I am inspired by all those that come from the toughest backgrounds who choose to use skating as a positive force. I am inspired by the passion a skate community can create when they gather. I am very lucky to consider skateboarding as a large role in my life.'

"The imagery and patterns in my work are inspired by the Diné (Navajo) weavers who freehand their fabric designs. I use patterns that represent the four cardinal directions, four seasons, four elements and four sacred mountains that protect the Navajo people and their land. These patterns also represent both masculinity and femininity.
