I know it’s the start of SOTY season or whatever, but I think it should just go to Nikolai for always doing the dopest ledge tricks.
In my new piece, I compare the number of shoe-sponsored skateboarders and shoe brands sponsoring skaters in 2026 with 2006. I also write about mag ads, CONS exit and more. walkerryan.substack.com/p/pr…
I haven’t skated in Orange County much, but my new short story, “Pico,” is set there. Early 2010s, about a TM tasked with cutting his riders. Hope you enjoy the read!

I wrote a short story about skating famous and fictional hubbas in San Francisco. I’ll be releasing short fiction every month here: walkerryan.substack.com/p/cl…
Posting this mostly so I can watch it on repeat, Rodrigo Tx, a 40-something-year-old, doing the most perfect switch flip you’ll ever see. Happy new year.
I’ve been requesting this move from the world’s best hard flippers for over a decade. I can’t believe the first one is on a picnic table 🤯🤯🤯
This was supposed to be a video part for my pro model C1rca shoe. Right before it was supposed to come out the company stopped paying everyone and even though I’d just signed a two year contract I never saw a dime. We kept filming and put it out a few months later.
Part of the year so far. A+ music supervision. Haven’t been this hyped on a song/skater combo in a long time. Bravo @ryyanlay
