My list of favorite skateboarders could go on forever. About every week or so I have a skateboarder that I’m extra hyped on, it could be someone I’ve been a fan of for years or someone I just saw for the first time. Regardless, I always do the same thing, watch this person’s video parts, read their interviews, and lurk through their Instagram.
Well, this past week it’s been Jake Hayes. Jake is someone I’ve been familiar with for years, but this week I’ve taken a deep dive into his footage, just appreciating his simple trick selection, unbelievable pop, and clean style. I really enjoyed Jake’s part in the recent Deathwish “Uncrossed” video, and as I recently gave that a re-watch, I suddenly couldn’t stop watching his footage.
I love when skateboarders are able to find that nice balance of working on video parts, as well as dropping clips on Instagram often. It’s not the formula for everyone, but I’m definitely a fan of it. Jake does this well, and as I scrolled through his IG, I decided to pull some of my favorite clips of his and mix them together, enjoy –
To go along with this mix, here’s a few favorites loop’d. I love that Pole Jam Front Board/Back Lip, so dope!
If you’re super hyped on someones skating at the moment, hit me up. I’m always down to watch a video part, I never know where it will lead me to, and that’s what I love about it. π
