Justin Bieber is known more for hitting the high notes than he is for popping high ollies, but apparently the kid has some real skating skills. The teen idol was hanging with a rowdy crowd in Van Nuys, Calif. Thursday where some of the world's top skaters were preparing for Rob Dyrdek's upcoming Street League Skateboarding tour. Usually, a baby-soft heartthrob like Bieber would have a tough time rolling with Dyrdek's motley crew.

The KR3W team will be writing their names on whatever you Arizonians want them to. You should ask one them to sign your face, then take a picture of it, and send it to Ed Templeton. His lady's working on an art project involving face autographs.
