Corey Funk, born on October 6, 1996, in California, comes from a family with a passion for extreme sports. His older brother, Capron Funk, was already a well-known scooter rider when Corey began his own SMX career in 2005 at just 9 years old. Their parents, Robert and Kimberly Ann Funk, were supportive of their sons' interests and encouraged them to pursue their dreams.
Starting in the amateur scooter circuit, Corey quickly rose through the ranks, inspired by his brother's success. By 2015, he was dominating the competition, becoming the #1 competitor in the ISA USA National Championship. Alongside Capron, he also claimed victory at the Nitro World Games in 2016, solidifying his reputation as a top professional in the sport.
Corey and his brother, along with their cousin Tyler, decided to share their adventures with the world through the popular YouTube channel, Funk Bros. Their content, which often features daring stunts performed in their backyard FunkYard, has amassed a loyal following. With over 1.2 million followers on Instagram and 250,000 subscribers on Snapchat, Corey has built a strong online presence.
When he's not pushing the boundaries of scooter riding, Corey enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, Hannah Roeloffs. Hannah, known for her popular TikTok account, adds another layer to Corey's life outside of the extreme sports world.
Corey Funk has become a household name in the professional scooter riding community, admired for his skill and fearlessness. Alongside his brother Capron, he has paved the way for a new generation of riders looking to push the limits of what is possible on two wheels. Much like his predecessors Terry Price and Dakota Schuetz, Corey Funk continues to inspire and entertain fans around the world with his passion for SMX.
As Corey's career continues to evolve, one thing remains certain—his dedication to the sport and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible on a scooter will continue to shape the future of extreme sports for years to come.
