Leon Wright

""

Bio

Leon is a gem of a skater, his skateboarding focussing on a sweet combination of power and tech, making it impossible to not stop in your tracks when he's on board. The king of switch, you'll find him putting it down around the streets of London and the famous Southbank, or putting in a shift at our London store. His is currently sponsored by adidas, Quantum Bearings, and Royal Trucks. We are gassed to have him on the Route One team.

About

DOB: 3rd October 1995

 

LOCAL PARK: I work so close to southbank and I’m there majority of the time after work so I’d have to say southbank as I never skate my local park

 

FAVOURITE SPOT: Oo one of my favourite street spots is the black manny pad in west, it’s so smooth and perfect you feel like you’re gliding!

 

DREAM SPOT: There’s such a selection to choose from, I love my ledges so I’d say either jkwon or the LA courthouse!

 

FAVOURITE OBSTACLE TO SKATE:to pick one is impossible so, I’d have to say a solid ledge and manny pad, I always enjoy manny and ledge session!

 

GO-TO TRICK: switch flips!! Always loved them, I still remember being taught them at Harrow skatepark, and they have always stuck and been better than my regular kickflips ahaa! I also love every variation of fs crook! Just something about the pinchy pinch and the pop out!

 

DREAM TRICK: Oo I have so many but one I’ve been really thinking about recently is switch backside noseblunt! Been trying to figure the motion and something clicked! Keep the eyes peeled:eyes:

 

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN NOT SKATING: I’m normally looking after my 3 rugrats and spending time with my mrs, and hitting the gym getting stronger and more flexible for skating! I’d like to say I’m a skate rat so I like looking for and watching all types of skateboarding!

 

HOBBIES OUTSIDE OF SKATEBOARDING: I love to cook, I cook nearly every day for me and my family, and I love how you can put your own spin on foods! Also going to the gym not only is it growth physically, but I like how it mentally strengthens you aswell!

 

TOP 3 SKATERS: this is such a tough question because so many people inspire me in different ways! I’d say again Wade D, dylan jaeb and marcos Montoya killers!

 

WHO INFLUENCES YOU MOST IN SKATEBOARDING: The infamous Wade Desarmo!! Since I starting skateboarding he has been someone I have watched always, super stylish and makes skateboarding look super fun and easy! Also the homies I’ve grown up with shouts to Dennis and George, always supported each other and we all want to see each other progress always love!

 

WHO INFLUENCES YOU MOST OUTSIDE OF SKATEBOARDING: My kids are my biggest influences! They love watching their dad skateboard and get so hyped when I take them out skating, it reminds me of the fun that should always be had whilst on ya board!

 

WHAT MUSIC ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW/ LAST PLAYED SONG: ooo I’m such a music person so it always changes, but the last song I listened to was “beef” by Pooh shiesty and FCG HEEM!

 

WHAT MUSIC GETS YOU AMPED TO SKATE: it’s always a mixture, sometimes it can be some drill, other days it can be some old school biggie lyrics!

 

FAVOURITE ROUTE ONE PRODUCT: The super baggy denim jeans and shorts! Always rocking them always will!

 

FAVOURITE ROUTE ONE RIDER: Jordan Thackary, I mean need I say more, the flow and style of his skateboarding is something I can always watch and admire!

 

IF YOU COULD STEAL A TRICK FROM ANOTHER RIDER ON YOUR STORE TEAM, WHO AND WHAT WOULD IT BE: Tommy’s nollie back heels! He does them super good and structured!

 

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR CITY: The Big London! It has everything, from some of the best skate spots, to everything for family days out as well it’s a beautiful city!

 

IF YOU HAD 3 WISHES, WHAT WOULD THEY BE: 3 wishes hmm, I’d wish for them LA and Barcelona spots to be in the UK, for my kids to have a happy future, and for a dream home with a skatepark in the garden!

 

IF YOU HAD A PRO GRAPHIC, WHAT WOULD BE ON IT: it would definitely be somthing to do with my kids, maybe similar looking cartoons I think that would be dope!

 

BEST EVER SKATE MISSION: I’d like to say the mission to St.Paul’s, hit there with my homie slacky and had a battle!

 

SOMEONE TO LOOK OUT FOR: I mean there’s so many upcoming skaters nowadays, but my favourite two George B and Dennis R and Mac W the three of them just understand skateboarding super stylish and powerful skaters!
