Yankou very much
One of the hallmarks of segueing into crusty-old-dude-skater status is when you can’t keep track of all the new up-and-comers anymore until they have a monumental video part about to drop and the hype consumes the entire industry. Guys like Cory Kennedy and Shane O’Neill, due to their sponsorships and bonkers trick-selection, are pretty hard to ignore. But guys like Think’s latest addition, Lee Yankou, often fly under the radar, and to all of our detriment. The dude’s been crawling up the ranks from the frozen depths of Canada for a couple years now. And he might not be doing Gandalf Flips or whatever the latest craze is, but this guy still goes big in his own, much more literal, way.
Hey Lee, if you like wallrides so much, why don’t you just fucking marry one already?
Annnd YouTube never fails to entertain:

Damn right. Sure beats the go-to, good-vibes, iPod-commercial soundtrack choices of late, at the very least.
