As you probably know, I love finding vintage skate gear online and this one was another must-have. Newly acquired is an Element SkateboardJeremy Wray deck from 2003. Unfortunately, it is a Twigs shape which were designed for the shorter and younger/beginner skaters and measures 7.1" x 28". Additionally, the previous owner went HAM with the sticker job and left behind some residue. Nevertheless, I'm beyond stoked to have this in the collection.
Jeremy Wray's always been one of my favourite skaters growing up and has always released solid video parts. Furthermore, I would like to express my condolences to him and his family for the tragic loss of his brother and fellow pro skater who sadly passed away in 2019. RIP Jonas Wray.
In case you're wondering, the deck was mounted to a pair of Grind King Trucks with 50.5mm Ricta Eric Koston wheels and Shorty's Quickies Bearings.
This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting Stereo Sound Agent Brye Wettstein at Jackalope Fest. Despite the heat wave all weekend, she managed to take 6th place in Women’s Vert Open Qualifiers.
Another highlight of Jackalope Fest were the vendors and I managed to grab the last 90s shape from Canadian-owned Comacan Skateboards. Support local independent businesses and I hope to see you at Jackalope Fest 2026!
