Jake Wooten | 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 Wooten’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.
In the world of skateboarding there's one quality that's prized above all others among the heroes and greats: watchability - that ability to draw gaze in a crowded field. Skateboarding is a very crowded field these days, but Jake Wooten has watchability in spades.
Jake Wooten skates for Santa Cruz, Etnies, Bronson, Mob, Independent, OJ Wheels, 6th Avenue Skatepark, and Red Bull.
Our judges, Vanessa Torres, Mike Sinclair, and Jason Rothmeyer, will evaluate each video based on style, progression and creativity.

Man, the way he does that trick is beautiful.

[@Dechral]

love watching Jake skate. He goes so hard and is always unpredictable.

[@nikitawheasdey2393]

So entertaining to watch He is winning all these contests but he is very chaotic and doesn’t look like the average contest kid This is the new generation Grant Taylor kinda vibe

[@ahmezi]

James craig' reactions are priceless and the addon needed

[@karlin_oriley]

One of the absolute best transition skaters out there. Awesome style and consistency. He absolutely wasted himself and pushed it to the limit until he puked. That's dedication. One of my absolute favorite skaters!!

[@kwillomusic]

The production on these videos is mind blowing. The edits are gold. I could watch these for hours. Hella props to the crew and team I think this just became my favorite skate competition over night!

[@twobitt2222]

You must’ve never watched a Dime contest, this a close 2nd though!

[@kwillomusic]

[@OmniSzron]

Man, Jake went hard. Huge props for going all out. He looks spent in the end there. Too bad he didn't get a perfect line. IMO, his run would also benefit from including an extra grind on one of the rails, but that's just me. In any case, he's got the quarterpipes on lock.

[@ben_west]

This format brings out a lot of creativity. Jake is a beast.

[@Steril707]

One of my fave skaters, but damn, he gave it all, and it wasn't always easy to watch, imo. Mad props for him to endure.

[@prisonmike4971]

Love this kid. He just thrashes.

[@tylerhawkins9091]

Probably one of the sickest run I've seen on solus

[@jbean9021]

My favorite so far to watch. I don’t know if he got the 45 seconds though

[@TKiBoule]

he didnt complete a run , otherwise he would be the winner

[@tmoney0212]

Agreed

[@hailhydra3058]

liam pace

[@NineteenEighty8]

jake is blowing up so fast. dude is mad consistent.

[@Chrispy_tV]

This dude l is one of my favorites right now. I could watch him shred a mini ramp for hours. Such a great skater and is just a monster in the transition sections.

[@JFryed420]

Haven’t watched 5 seconds yet and I want Jake to win. He’s the best dude

[@roybatty4578]

My money is on Ilardi's run, but Wooten still tore it up!

[@radspiderjackson]

I hate that feeling of getting so tired you wanna throw up, but thats passion to get it doing something you love

[@pg5420]

Spicy. Unpredictable. Bends physics to his will. Most impressive skateboarder ive seen in years. F yeah Jake.

[@northeastjerk6381]

Wooten is such a beast.

[@Jeremyramone]

Those tre flips look like so much fun. What a talent, thanks very much for sharing these exceptional productions. Greatly appreciated.

[@MrEL91N]

That back foot/leg on his tre flips looks so unique. Makes them look even more sick.

[@skait174]

When i saw the title and found out Jake was in this, i figured it was wrap and y'all could just give him the trophy now. He def gave it his all. Anyone that sk8s til they barf is royalty. *For every board Ricky catches he should get a bonus 🤑

[@backstromforsberg]

He's literally the best in the business right now in literally any park setting.

[@deanagewasteland6658]

What a machine!!!

[@justspacegoatfarts]

dude is just too good , so explosive and original, certainly one of the most entertaining skaters in the world

[@Prohortico]

Watched a lot of these runs, and haven’t wanted someone to get their line as much as this one!

[@Trevturk]

Wooten is for sure one of my favorite to watch. excited to see what he does in the next few years

[@johnmauer6079]

Watching him skate that hard was crazy. This is my favorite contest. He wants this one for sure.

[@niftysin]

You guys are killing the game rn💯

[@Dontbustthecrust]

Flawless tres.

[@jasonharris5201]

The sound of those tres was also very impressive.

[@P1Brand]

Back foot tweeeeek!

[@seanmcbride2003]

one of the best lines ever

[@tjg801]

Just started watching and can already tell this will be the best one. This guy is amazing! If you haven’t seen it, watch Mano A Mano 2022

[@jessem.2807]

Absolutely nuts!

[@jonasdornbach6797]

Please invite him again. He's got it all to take it home next time. So much fun to watch!

[@Lionnmann7]

Total spirit in this guy never gives up.

[@Rolbysworld]

this just blew me away. his style is so sick

[@bsnp1x5l63]

Dude gave it everything he had. And those tres were a thing of beauty. Impressive all round.

[@davidmendoza39]

Dude was throwing his board all over the place like a maniac. I mean this in a good way. He can literally reach ANY PLACE in the park. My favorite ATV skater

[@stumckhall]

That’s insane skating right there it’s between the Jakes. Great style, super good transition skating.

[@skellydisc1107]

One Of My New Favorites! That Was Sick AF!

[@coleversteegh1532]

Nobody has a chance against Jake! I had to skate against him a few years back and I was just mesmerized with how much talent he has!

[@maximeberube3416]

Jake is so entertaining to watch!

[@bertiemunn129]

the one we've all been waiting for

[@limpsnips8876]

I need to be friends with Jake so he can teach me how he does his front side airs. Best ever. Ever.

[@Mmmmilo]

This dude FLOWS!

[@Jimmyybueno]

That was intense, love you Jake ❤️

[@Mmmmilo]

I don’t care if he wins THIS or not - he should win SOMETHING for the creativity and insanity of these tricks. 360 disaster on a spine?!

[@nicklevine9442]

Jake is an absolute beast. His skating leaves nothing to be desired. He's crushing it this year and should be a heavy SOTY contender.

[@daoistmaster3000]

what a legend ! shouting at you from the UK Jake. you so rad man

[@greyguy.960]

This is the one I have been waiting for.

[@alissacollins1337]

[@tmoney0212]

Winning run right here!! Soo much energy and his height on his tricks and smoothness! I think his is the best soo far

[@jameshynes2350]

Unreal!! The tre flip starting around 6:14 is honestly one of the sickest I’ve ever seen.

[@ballbrians]

Jake is insane. Mad props

Could watch this kid all day!!!

Dudes a Beast! The whole Santa Cruz team is 🔥.You won this comp.Bro.

[@delsoul2003]

G'ah, I was hoping for more from Jake. Dude is so sick with vert and ground game. I think if he had longer, he would have worked out an even sicker run.

[@supernewuser]

Great attitude and incredible skating.

[@papadampreach]

Literally leaving it all on the field

[@tupperware1147]

Been waiting on this

[@mattpetty3816]

this dude is too good. he really has it all.

[@s.pepper1833]

What an animal! I mean Jason with that board grab. Believe he had an even more matrix worthy grab on another solus22 I watched. And Jake Wooten is next level, extremely well rounded skater.

[@dc4l923]

man I love this serious!

[@wesskeletormacc8944]

Epic!!

[@ryanspence1214]

Gave it all wow

Jesus christ the force he puts down every time he lands that fs360 n rock on the spine I'm shocked he didn't snap his board. But the way he goes so huge on everything is nutw

[@franciscoramirez9867]

Woot woot!

[@hearandnowrecordings]

best so far

[@AcidChills]

Idk if they are scoring this like other major contests, but if so it's a real bummer he didn't make his last trick because the rest of the run was HEAVY. Kick back D, front 3 board, front 3 revert on the spine, even the ollie on the wallride and the treflip had so much pop and style.

[@tsjuls734]

I just met him and he is so nice, he just vibes with everyone

[@jasongeyer2111]

I loved his back foot on that 3 flip at 2:00 over that hip. Was sweet looking! Looked like a effin flying ninja kick 👍🏻😁👍🏻He sucked it up max level and almost kicked himself in the nuts! It was literally picture perfect 😎

[@50StichesSteel]

This whole season I keep going, alright this dude got it. Then another one comes on and I repeat myself. This one is very hard to judge.

[@FelonyFunk]

Ricky has a well developed spidey sense for incoming skateboards

[@thegolequix4665]

I just love the reacts of this man with de clock, he is like "yesss" "oh my god"

[@DARRYBBB1]

That frontside 360 spine transfer is insane

so sick
