Jake Ilardi | 2022 Red Bull Sōlus Entry

Watch all the Red Bull SŌLUS entries & vote for the "People's Choice" award now: win.gs/solus
Red Bull Sōlus, one of the most mentally and physically challenging contests in skateboarding, is back for a third year. From the mind of Ryan Sheckler, this digital skate competition challenges 17 of the top pros and amateurs to deliver their best continuous line at Sheckler’s private skatepark, the SC Sandlot. Here is Jake Ilardi’s run.
On June 6-8, each of the competing skaters were given one hour at the SC Sandlot to film their best line - no music, no other skaters, and no knowledge of who else is competing in the competition. They're just stuck with their thoughts, their time limit, and James Craig, this year's official Red Bull Sōlus timekeeper and emcee.
This competition format, combined with the new blood featured in this year’s roster, has resulted in the best Red Bull Sōlus to date.
The term “All-Terrain Vehicle” is used to describe skaters who can skate everything. Sometimes, that term is thrown around a little too generously. But not for Jake Ilardi. He can crooked grind nollie flip out of a handrail and proceed to blast a 540 out of your backyard pool with ease.
Jake Ilardi skates for Blind, Bones, Mob, Televisistar, The Boardr, and Compound Boardshop.
Our judges, Vanessa Torres, Mike Sinclair, and Jason Rothmeyer, will evaluate each video based on style, progression and creativity.

This is the winning run, no question.

[@Kainebadonmusic]

No doubt bro. Killed it eh?

[@skateforgirl2099]

All around greatness right there. We’ll see with the upcoming skaters but this is the best so far.

[@JosephBernard507]

@@Kainebadonmusic dude so killed it.

[@JosephBernard507]

@@skateforgirl2099 such a rad contest.

[@Trevturk]

who else is competing though? a lot of talent out there

[@mtgguiltfeeder4111]

I love this contest format… It really highlights the absolute hardest parts of the sport IMO.

[@adams.gestwicki5292]

man I don't know... Wooten in this park is probably going to be a blast to watch.

[@ilunapz5457]

never forget he is born for this xD

[@RealSkateStories]

💯

[@JosephBernard507]

Such a good contest.

[@tomsativa]

Art not sport (:

[@jewellione6131]

This is the best contest format ever I swear . Would tune in everyday, get more competitors 🤩🤩🤩

[@hanniballectormd5569]

Jake has allot of heart glad to see him making a name for himself

[@joejoe2658]

i thought doctors could spell.

[@kaydendunlap1174]

wow this blowed my mind, i've been watching jake for years cus i live an hour away from his home town, every time I see him skate he gets better and better. I can't believe how quickly he acclimated to the course compared to the past competitors. go jake!!

[@Magdalena8008s]

Same. But I live in Sarasota and see him at the park here what is basically every month and every time I see him he steps his game up.

[@allstopblue5717]

I’m here watching this instead of downloading some whack ass caffeine app plus creating an account that I’ll only use once yet it’ll continue to track my phone and collect data….just to watch Berrics…nah. This is getting me my fix.

[@JosephBernard507]

Dude agreed. Lame ass app. Too good to put it on KZbin, but not good enough to pull from you tube.

[@Thecarlosperla]

That was some amazing skating! so glad I could see how that went down from start to finish!

[@HandsomePuggg]

Killer run! Great to see a flowy mix of transition and tech bangers.

[@NineteenEighty8]

jake is so dope! he was pulling bangers 2 minutes in. yeah, he better win! HANDS DOWN THE BEST RUN. Period.

[@dadboard]

Not anymore. Eli smoked this dude and did it with personality.

[@NineteenEighty8]

@@dadboard eli run wasnt even close to jakes run lol.

[@dadboard]

@@NineteenEighty8 apparently you like a different type of skateboarding than I do. Jake skates and acts like an AI simulation of a skateboarder after a computer was fed nothing but X games and SLS footage. How you can watch him skate and listen to him talk and still walk away saying “that’s my guy” is beyond me.

[@JosephBernard507]

Agreed!!!

[@nickpasquarello1291]

When I saw he was in this I was like "yea, he's gonna take it"

[@recordatron]

I like how he absolutely stomps some mind blowing tricks and then goes "ahhh!" as if he's just bailed and olley or something cause it's not quite perfect haha. The sign of a true competitor.

[@alexphi8966]

jake ilardi is amaze balls.

[@followsuittrading]

That backside 540 on the big quarter came out of nowhere. This dude's talent is ridiculous. Skating has advanced so much since I started in 98.

[@chrisb9377]

Stomps everything and skates super fast. I love It

[@TCool-in2to]

So far he’s got it!!!

[@shaodynasty1017]

Lol his girlfriend just awkwardly lurking in the corner the whole video

[@dannyvalle7101]

JAKE!!!! Let’s gooo Sarasota represent

[@douglasjimenez2839]

My favorite so far.

[@masteringwushu1262]

this was a total DESTRUCTION of that park u gotta admit! WOW

[@hohovsash]

Heard it here first, Jake won, stay blessed!

[@babyonanipad]

The "uhu" before the halfcab krook everytime

[@AcidChills]

Best run so far

[@Miketron-ld2pu]

"I'm gonna step it up..." Bro. I'm a 41 yr old skater.... for me, stepping it up is switching an ollie for a FS 180. Haha.. still rollin' though!! Killed it Jake.

[@troymacarthur]

For sure! 44 yrs young here. Biggest obstacle I'm hitting from flat are curbs and manny pads. I think mini-ramps were invented for guys like me though. So much less painful, especially in the joints. if you can stay on.

[@Miketron-ld2pu]

@@troymacarthur absolutely hearing ya David. Love a good mini ramp session! Keep rolling brother 👊

[@leorod2645]
