Born inBaltimore, Maryland, Lasek started skateboarding at the age of 12, shortly after his bike was stolen.^[1] After entering amateur contests, he was quickly noticed byPowell Peralta talent scouts in 1987.

Lasek attained professional status with Powell in 1990, but by this time, skateboarding, and vert skateboarding (Lasek's discipline) in particular, began to lose popularity and his career waned.

In May 2012, Lasek was one of three drivers selected bySubaru Rally Team USA to compete in the 2012Global RallyCross Championship. Lasek continued with the team earning several second and third place finishes through his career with Subaru. He left the team after the 2016 season.^[6]

Lasek made acameo appearance in the low-budget 2003 movieHaggard, in which he hands a skateboard toBam Margera while he runs from the villain Hellboy. He appeared in MTV's reality television seriesViva La Bam and in the music video forPink's single "Raise Your Glass". He served as a stunt double in the 2003 movieGrind.^[7] He also made an appearance as himself in an episode ofThe Jersey called "What's Gotten Into Elliott Rifkin?", and also attended the sixth dinner service ofHell's Kitchen's21st season.
