The Journeyman Skateboarder: Ryan Lay | Epicly Later’d

[@SablanSk8ing]

The amount of respect he has from the industry is so rad. Good to see people like Ryan get the spotlight.

Where's the Epicly Later'd on Joa? Our boy out here still skating after overcoming his crippling Batman addiction.

[@tim1309]

Gifted hater.. You either love him or hate him.. Spanky hit the nail on the head in describing him and his content. With that said I love him skateboarding and the culture behind it needs a person like him! Great episode can't wait for the rest!!!

Burnett “ the fucking insult blogger” lol so butt hurt that joa called his out too for being an x games judge saying it wasn’t very hellride 😂

i think ryan lay is gonna be an important figure in skateboarding for a really long time

[@JoryBarrett]

Keep dreamin

[@crunchroll8169]

Ryan was at KTR in Arizona helpin out for the week, had the privilege meeting him before Welcome. Genuine good person me and my dad gave him a gift card to some restaurant in the area and you could see the authenticity in his smile and thanks never forget seein that as a kid I’m now 21. Big ups Ryan never forget ya!

[@CJRussell]

I met him at Slow Impact and he signed my board. Very cool guy overall.

[@world_of_manny_malibu]

Ryan’s skating is so structured and he has the best bag of tricks. I’ve been following him on IG for maybe 3 or 4 years but had no idea that he was in his mid 30s or had this long of a history in the industry

[@jadedwitness9840]

Whatch his happy medium parts

[@Davidskates603]

Ryan if you’re reading this, my grandfather went to Arizona in like 2007 and brought me back a deck from a place called Freedom Board shop, I knew nothing about it but I found them on MySpace and I’m pretty sure you were featured on there as a team rider. I’ve been following you ever since and it’s amazing to see how far you’ve come.

I've never even skated and I love this series. So good!

[@Wildest_Wahoo]

Go sub to the Epicly Later’d KZbin channel. Patrick said recently that there’s like 6-7 episodes that vice has in the vault. But since Vice is basically going under anything new after that will be on Patrick’s personal channel.

[@oopsydaizi3s824]

@@Wildest_Wahoofinally something good came from vice

[@RedrumKoa]

Plenty of skateboarding channels and people to follow. This has always been and still is outside of Vice's niche. Don't understand how they have kept the skating videos up, when they can clearly see it's not reaching the audience. It's actually RIP Vice, they aren't going to make a comeback with this tjit.

[@bradpnw1897]

Damn Ryan does up to 35 miles a day and uses an inhaler, this man is a beast.

[@ernesthack4747]

This is a huge video for the AZ skate community super stoked to see all the dudes in the interviews and Ryan getting the recognition he deserves. Super cool to learn hes into trail running and through hiking.

We need Gifted to do a tier list of the featured skaters in this video lol

[@stevenmartin7130]

He got a really good heart for the kids 🙏🏽

[@therealjd1503]

Thanks Patrick so glad the show is still going, and after vice I hope you continue on KZbin🤘

Nora and Joa should just get a pretzel at the mall and skate together, talk it thru. I mean they probably both like SpongeBob. Ryan is a freaking machine!

@@Chris-uh5vv absolutely agree. I remember some road trip video from Welcome and Nora appearing to me as such an obnoxious big mouth. Those call outs from GH seem to really hit their marks where they should also with Burnett not being able to avoid a gruff comment.

its so funny how shes mad about little things hes bugge her about in the past like search up "Big Boy Bandit, Berrics Update, Shecksy Time (Hateline)" hes just talking about how they were being dicks to a random pedestrian in the way of their slappy curb that is located in a public park or walking trail or something then nora was laughing like a witch and joa said "go back to your cauldron" butthurt over nothing

Was honored to have watched this early at Slow Impact AZ wishing for it to become annually cause it has been the sickest time I’ve been to both! It’s a 3 day oasis of skateboarding, skating related topics n talks with interesting panels, skate seshes, art shows and video premieres it’s the best thing to come out of this desert I call home, love you Ryan ❤️ Hwy 60 and Val Vista alumni
