Ace Pelka.

Annihilation Time.

Ace is from Oceanside, California. He is pro for Assault. Ace had a part in the Assualt video from 2014 that was nearly all street and ditches. He jumped down some big gaps and did a few impossibles, including both the regular and front foot kinds. It seems he is focusing more on skating parks and transitions lately. Some of his favorite skaters are Lance Mountain, Neil Blender, Eric Dressen, Darren Navarrette, and Peter Hewitt.

Assualt is the long running company of Ned Hadden. The team features legends like Ricky Winsor, Mario Rubalcaba, and Kien Lieu along with new guys such as Shonn Oquendo, Garrett Lekas, and Mike Bricke.

I was wondering what Lee Yankou had been up to on Friday and just like that he's got a new video part on the Thrasher website. It is for the Blue Tile Lounge's Baby Blue video. Lee does a bunch of his signature wallrides and blasts a number of huge ollies.
