Followed and am shopping the Welcome site right now for his board.

seeing him skate around SF back in 2011 blew my mind. when he's not filming he's really just cruising around the streets smiling and laughing all the time, doing a shove-it on flat then randomly switch ollieing up three feet tall shit like it's nothing. sends off super positive vibes. he's the kind of natural no camera can ever do justice, you just have to see him skate when he's not on mission mode

I ordered his deck and donated to his charity program. Gonna buy shoes next.

I've skated with the Welcome guys back in the day, and Ryan came to the park one time. He hit switch front nose slides on this waist high ledge 20 times in a row, no exaggeration. he's one of the most purely talented skaters ive ever seen in person.

I appreciate how no one knew who this dude was until he had the opportunity to use Instagram to join the bandwagon of being a self-hating white and a bigot towards anyone that doesn't think like him and the cult.

Dude is pretty popular on here. I remember him way back when he was on rasa libre -switch back 3. Also you may as well just call me a 'n----r lover' instead of 'self hating white'. -Why pussify your racism?

yes, no one saw how good his part was in the welcome vid, or the 102 trick line for his birthday or his recent etnies part

I have his shoes, they rock! Keep fighting the good fight Ryan

Besides Fred Gall, SLAP's "community" has popularized everything that should never be popular, so there's also that.

Been a fan of his since I first saw Peter Vlad's Wonderful Horrible Life. He used to always skate the sickest Half-Cabs. Glad he's found his place and has nailed down some solid sponsors. I thought for sure he would have stuck with Enjoi when he got on, but I like that he's become one of the main riders on Welcome.

P.S. his Ipath part is amazing and oft forgotten.

He also just dropped two video parts, Etnies Album and a Real Street part, both which were stylish and showed him skating in a unique way. He's working hard, skating well and seems like a righteous person.

Of course. Every person in the cult is righteous. In fact, the world would be better if people were exactly like them.

I'm too lazy and fat off my capitalist Mountain Dew to go through the hard work of posting a picture of Ryguy and showing how he fits the "I hate myself and my white family" look.

emchen · « **Reply #17 on:** May 17, 2018, 06:23:16 PM »

Ryan Lay was cool before all this and he's most definitely cooler now for having a backbone. Must've gotten that from dealing with getting kicked off enjoi and huf, going to school, and moving on to better things.

I think I'll try out a welcome board.

personally I know I've been a fan since A Happy Medium which was easily one of the most popular indie vids of the late 2000's, that part of his in that got his name on a lot of people's lips. then he's been steadily killing it getting coverage ever since. as a skater I think he likes being quite discreet and low-key, he's made some funny (but respectable) career moves, ie. leaving Enjoi for Welcome back when they were gaining traction but still smaller than nowadays. many people on here have been following and talking about that dude forever. I've seen people on here share most every photo of him that would come out, and literally every single new video part

Why are you all replying to this shitty troll?

excitableboy · « **Reply #23 on:** May 17, 2018, 07:08:00 PM »

I remember seeing Ryan Lay destroy my local park on a Huf tour. Offered him my board when he broke his on a switch hurricane. He thought better of it. Anyway I was very surprised when Huf kicked him off shortly after. He was easily one of their best and most remarkable. Austyn also killed it that day and Dylan was at his very prime then but Ryan just about matched them. I realize only the idiots in this thread will need any convincing of this but I just felt like reminiscing. What a demo that was.

Thanks for posting that. It made me listen to There's Nothing Wrong With Love.

Check the IG story now, he’s vlogging about his new skate crew.

I will buy a Ryan Lay product for this. Thank you.
