@wyattwisenbaker makes this backside air look easy with the style of legends from the past! 📸 @yancey_w WYATT WISENBAKER ~ JUICE MAGAZINE STATE OF SKATE INTERVIEW
Hometown: Chesapeake, Virginia What’s the most fun skater-built spot you’ve skated lately?
Hands down WSVT. Who do you like to skate with?
I like to skate with anyone who is skating and getting rad, but I prefer to skate with my mentors who skated in the ‘80s. They bring the stoke and history to the session. Best thing you’ve skated in a skatepark?
My favorite thing to skate in skateparks are snake runs. They have so many lines and are so unique. The best one I have skated is at Arvada, Colorado. Favorite skateboarders?
It is hard to narrow it down to a few. I look up to so many people who all have contributed to skateboarding. I try to blend many styles to make my own, but when I do bonelesses, I try to emulate Phillips and, when I do frontside inverts, I try to emulate Caballero, just to name a couple. For favorite skater of today, I would say Ben Raybourn because of how different he skates and how he blends the new tricks and styles with the old. Which skate shops do you support?
Wave Riding Vehicles. They started out as a surf shop in 1967 and, in the late 70’s, they opened up a skate shop. Everyone who works there knows what they are talking about and skates themselves. Favorite skate photo of all time?
I am partial to the East Coast because that is where I’m from. I love looking through old skate mags and seeing pictures of Trashmore, which has so much history. I especially like this photo of Billy Ruff doing a frontside invert. The photo was taken by Mofo. I also really like a photo of Chris Miller at the Hawk estate. That photo was taken by Mofo. He is on the vert extension in a smith. Skate photos are extremely important to the history of skateboarding because they capture the style of the skater and preserve that split second in time forever. - Read more at juicemagazine.com. #skate #stateofskate #moonshineskateboards #acetrucks #speedlabwheels #wrv1967 #wrv1967_vabeach #waveridingvehicles #globebrand #blackflyseyewear #s1helmets #burlycaps #rockstarbearings
