Walker Ryan "Textures" Part

[FROTHY]

I wonder if Suciu has read Walker Ryan's book.

Dudes literally been killing it for nearly 20 years. He’s like 35 too and still doing fucked up shit. Plus he writes books and puts out great skate health and injury recovery content. Why can’t I buy a board with his name on it? Actually, and hear me out, he’d be sick on sci fantasy imagine him and Ryan lay shared parts .

that would be beautiful. Both of them are some of my favorites atm

He also seems well respected by lots of cohorts of skaters. He was super close with Dave Abair and skated with the GX dudes in SF when he's up there and gets love from almost everyone.

My guess is he's just not trendy or corny enough. He's not rocking some late 90's throwback kids, recycled mall metal fits, or remotely in the Supreme realm. Sadly that's what sells boards. Beatrice has a pro board and more sponsors than Walker....

as happy as I am for Beatrice, this just made me question that world of skateboarding

[Style Police]

Underrated is an understatement

"Innumerable" kinda sounds like something I'd write if I didn't do my research.

I back this idea

[whaaaaat]

Dude's post "retirement" skating is some best in class shit.

Also, major props to him for writing 2 books. So many people talk their whole lives about writing a book but never get around to it. Haven't read either of them, but even if they're not great it's commendable that they even exist.  Impressive guy this Walker Ryan.

[Blueabyssofthisss]

One of my new favorite skaters. Always knew he was good but damn I slept on him

[Made In China]

Someone give this man a pro board and pay him to skate goddamn it. Dude has always been lowkey one of the best skaters out and criminally underrated. His skating is a perfect combo of tech wizardry, hucking, and unique shit done with great style.

[coyote2425]

Criminally underrated forever. So much gnarly shit in there made to look so mellow.

Dude has it and deserves much better.

[devils acrobat]

Been a favorite for some time now, love his skating. That switch 360 kickflip was so good. 

[doomstation55]

People should talk about his fs shoves more because they’re immaculate.


Has anyone read his book? I’d be kinda interested in checking it out…

[backspinflip]

Kayo's mike pioware. Damn good but just doesn't quite have that x factor. Pretty cool thrasher will still post his parts. makes me wonder what this guy does for a living though. Definitely has the gnar and tech down, although nothing really stood out until he cab flipped down the stairs

[NoComply180]

I prefer his skating in CA honestly, but he tore some NYC spots a new one. Good stuff.

[landedprimo]

That was fucking sick! New favorite.

[SSBSTRS]

With a dude this good, I'd be curious if it's a case of him not wanting sponsors, rather than brands not wanting to back him.

Dude's what, 35? And writes book now? Maybe he just doesn't want all the demands and expectations that come with being on a board brand. I'm probably trippin though.

[Logic says]

Logic suggests despite his undeniable skills in all four stances and smooth style, he must have a defect personality not to gain and maintain top notch sponsorships.

Skated with him once for a day and can say he was as friendly as they come.

Your logic is flawed. Dude just spent too much time with Kayo and missed some opportunities. He's great and he rips, but not everybody ends up with PRod level sponsors.

[toe_knee]

He should be on magenta

[Steely Daniel]

That was stupidly good and creative.

Fs shove fs nosegrind doesn't even seem feasible let alone in a line.

[slimvanilla]

super sick bag of tricks. his switch game is pretty nuts

[ApesPissed]

His best part yet, to me. Ender was so sick. Rollerbladers are so silly

[gub]

kind of had expected this to be a welcome to habitat part

[LebowskisRug]

Just watched until the end of the credits and when he lands his sw tre at the courthouse he crosses the street to get fist bumps from a puffin Kader and a smiling Tyshawn. Tyshawn is often a serious guy so to get a smiling fist bump- you've done good.

[Pipe Dreamer]

Wow what a incredible part. Bonus props for making it to the street after Le Dome double set with a front shuv ender.

[tadej Pog]

35? dude will kills it till 45.

[Aquatic Dinosaur]

He could be on sk8 mafia, they secured Javier Sarmiento and should do the same for Walker Ryan

[Natas Fauxas]

Damn. I didnt know what to expect here. I knew he was good, but hes real good. He also has the style i like. Effortless looking yet you can tell hes trying if that makes any sense.
