Jake Hayes Exclusive Interview Wallride X Podcast EP 014

Описание: On this episode of the Wallride X podcast, Marko “Sharko” Jazbinsek (Sugar/Unified) and Dez Beristain (FlippinBoards) sit down with Australian powerhouse Jake Hayes, known for his massive pop, clean style, and love of deck collecting.

Jake shares his story, from growing up in Australia to moving to Los Angeles. We dive into his early inspirations, including Birdhouse’s 90s graphics, and how some of his Deathwish pro models pay tribute to that era.

He talks about what it’s like skating under Andrew Reynolds, how long a pro skate career can realistically last, and what it means to land covers in Transworld and Slam magazine. We revisit his 34-inch kickflip at The Berrics, one of the highest ever caught on film, and discuss his influences, from Bryan Herman to Andrew Reynolds.

Jake opens up about his relationship with filmer Kevin Perez, breaking down how he joined Deathwish, New Balance, and Dickies. He shares thoughts on social media, his new Deathwish shape, and why he prefers vulcanized shoes (New Balance Numeric 272) over cupsoles for better board feel.

We also explore his massive personal deck collection, how he stores and preserves rare pieces, and whether he prefers originals or reissues. Plus, we get into team dynamics, how Jake navigates the balance between individual skating and being part of multiple brand teams, and his honest perspective on mental health in skateboarding.

This episode is packed with stories, insight, and rare pulls from Jake’s collection, including Birdhouse and Baker decks.
