2023 Pro Skater on 1973 Board?! Jake Wooten's Cruzer Surprise

"Experience skateboarding time travel as 2023 pro skater Jake Wooten takes on our classic 1973 Cruzer reissue! Peep the seamless blend of modern tricks with old-school style. This one will be sure to leave you inspired and hyped to go skate." Did you know Santa Cruz is 50 this year??

So the premise was this, Santa Cruz ships Jake a 5-ply cruiser to his home in Nashville, they set him up with veteran filmer Joe Perrin, and the pair sees if Jake can work his magic on it.

6th Avenue skatepark in Nashville is the place to go whenever you're lucky enough to find yourself in that city. On first look, it's not what Jake expected and he makes a funny joke, "They gripped most of it," noticing the speed stripe strip of grip that we're assuming was the norm back in '73.

The wheels are 59mm and the trucks are tiny. First try 360 flip doesn't work, but eventually he's nailing 'em. After seeing what he can do inside the park, they hit the rainy streets of Nash Vegas.
