Ryan Lay.



Touch, Part one.

Ryan is from Arizona. He turned pro for Welcome in 2016. His other sponsors include Krux, Etnies, and Altamont Apparel. He had previously ridden for Enjoi and Rasa Libre. Ryan runs Skate After School, a nonprofit organization that works with Phoenix area schools to teach skateboarding to underprivileged children. He had the opening part in Welcome's Fetish video from the beginning of the year. Ryan does a bunch of nollies, noseslides, ollies, and boardslides set to the synth pop sounds of Secession. His switch game is on point with backside tailslides and lipslides on handrails and a big backside 180 down a hefty chunk of real estate. This is one of those parts where the skating, the music, and the editing fit together perfectly.
