Mitchie Brusco seems like your average 5-year-old boy.

He loves Power Rangers and his favorite movie is ``Spider-Man.'' He spends hours on swing sets, and he still thinks school will be fun once he attends.

But when Mitchie hops onto a skateboard, he is anything but average.

He is becoming one of biggest -- and smallest -- sensations in Northwest skateboarding.

Mitchie, who lives in Kirkland, is a skateboarding prodigy -- already sponsored by six different companies.

He has won his past three competitions, including the first-place trophy at the 8-and- under Northwest League Competition held in Portland in June.

The win earned Mitchie an all-expenses-paid trip to the Gravity Games in Cleveland, one of the biggest skateboarding events in North America.

``Everybody has a talent,'' said his mother, Jennifer Brusco. ``I think he just found his sooner than most.''
