Wes Kremer is your favourite skateboarder’s ACTUAL favourite skateboarder: an offline enigma who manages to be both one of the world’s most highly- rated and least visible pro’s at the same time. One of the purest souls in skateboarding, the San Diego native and former Thrasher Magazine Skater Of The Year might be expected to chase the benefits of the attention economy.
Instead, Wes does not exist on social media at all- preferring to live a life of relative anonymity committed to the tour van and the everyman aspect of skateboarding life. The most elusive skate hero of the digital age, Madars sets out to discover how Wes juggles sponsorship responsibilities with a skateboarding career devoted to avoiding any unnecessary limelight. Join Madars as he kicks it with the unique Wes Kremer!

It's so stupid that people are so obsessed with social media that he has to explain himself as to why he's not doing it

@tracphonevirtualmagazine Год назад

But it does make it hard for companies to promote him and sponsor him. I get what you mean but you got to go where the people are mane.

@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin Год назад

@@tracphonevirtualmagazine I mean not really, he's doing his thing and his sponsors are supporting him. While the whole industry is shifting towards valuing someones social media presence over actual skateboarding he's just skating and people still seem to like him and what he does so maybe it's not all that important after all. There will always be hundreds of guys who do everything "you're supposed to do" and they just end up being copies of one another, Wes is just being his authentic self and I think most people like him even more for it.

@tracphonevirtualmagazine Год назад

@@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin okay but nobody is buying magazines as much as before. Nobodies buying DVDs and Blu Ray as much as before. I hear what you mean but at the same time Wes is already sponsored and lives in the heart of skating. San Diego. If you were in the Midwest it would be very difficult to get exposure and social media helps bridge gap between the haves and have nots. If you're not trying to make a living in skating or you're not trying to be sponsored then you're right you really don't need to be tapped in on social media.

@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin Год назад

@@tracphonevirtualmagazine Oh for sure it's harder to come up without social media and the guys who have already established themselves don't really need to have a presence, but I guess it also has to do with the audience. I had just started skating when videos still came out on VHS and the content mania didn't really exist until instagram became big, it has its pros and its cons but personally I don't really care too much for it.

This guy has life figured out. All the new stuff IS BS and social media is a horrible thing ! I think this guy just became my favorite skater, and he absolutely killed that little park near the end of the video. Life isn't about who is the most popular, does the coolest things, goes to whatever places, and has whatever things. We could all take a lesson from him because he IS just living his life how he wants which is Awesome !

Inspiring. Not many skaters in the West are like this; especially in California where digital is everything. I commend Wes for his wisdom and insights. Especially where he highlights the fact that Instagram is endless and can suck a lot of time and energy whereas a magazine is actually good for you and has a certain level of content. Maybe analog is the future lol.....

When you are that prolific at skating people will film you and post you. In fact, if more people were as singularly focused as Wes there would be a larger demand for filmers and photogs. They get paid, sponsors are happy so Wes gets paid. Win-win-win. Dude is my new favorite Luddite. And he didn't even mention how the "feed" (social media) is actually destroying the world politically. Likely because he doesn't care because its not about skating or being with the homies. My man.
