Early life
Smith received his first skateboard at the age of six, and by ten he was skating with serious intent. He grew up skating in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Professional skateboarding
In approximately 2004, Smith was asked to skate for the Blind skateboard company during a visit by the team to Smith's hometown. According to Smith, he was asked by the team manager of Blind, Bill Weiss, at a dinner following a day of skateboarding with the Blind team that had been organized by Smith's friend, Pasi Posi.
In the fall of 2008, Smith was featured on the cover of SBC Skateboard magazine and, following a "60 Minutes in the Park" segment for Transworld in June 2012, was surprised by his Blind teammates with a signature deck that indicated his transition into the professional realm.
