Back in the booth: Brian Wenning
November 6, 2009
48blocks just put up an interview with Brian Wenning that unlike all other 48blocks interviews doesn’t ask (mostly, that is) about growing up skating with (insert legend’s name here) and instead deals exclusively with his post-Plan B/DC descent into obscurity. In contrast to the You Tube videos that were making Wenning look mad douche-y and seemed to be contributing to his falling off, Wenning seems pretty rad in this interview and had me pretty stoked on him. Apparently, he’s getting flowed from the Kayo Corp and hungry—“I am more motivated now to skate everyday and try to push myself and progress in different areas of skateboarding.” I’m not entirely sure what that means (old guy bank skating?) but it sounds good. Wenning on DGK seems like a good look; a video with the Love Park OG’s—Wenning, Stevie and Kalis would be pretty sick.
He also released some unseen footage (seen above)—its clearly from Plan B filming missions so there’s no real surprises but he’s a fun dude to watch. His switch tre on flat is a thing of beauty and the switch back-tail 360 shuv-it out is one of the best around. Here’s hoping the comeback is on some PeteEldridgestyle epic-ness and not just a teaser.
