Evan Wasser.



Orange, said in Jon Spencer's voice.

Evan is from Culver City in the Los Angeles area of California. He basically grew up skateboarding and has had a few sponsors over the years. Termite gave him boards when he was younger, then there was a deal with Almost and Globe, a stint on WKND, and finally he landed on Frog. Evan impressed everybody last year in a shared part with Nick Michel for Thunder Trucks. He kind of reminds me of Omar Salazar with a mix of classical transition skating to go with hairball street stunts. His interests include playing music and acting in plays. He is famous for wearing some bright orange shorts.

Skateboarding in the DST just feels better.

I got most of the info from Evan's interview at Quartersnacks:

Did he have a Thrasher interview recently? Was there like a Frog team interview? I always think I read stuff and then it's not referenced on the internet so I spend a bunch of time flipping through Thrashers for something that isn't there. I do think he had a Top 5s, maybe.
