Skater Bobby Worrest video release set for Sept. 24th
Skater Bobby Worrest video release set for Sept. 24th
eS Skateboarding pro Bobby Worrest , aka The Beast from the East, is as quirky as they come. Of course all easterners have an inordinate, inherent amount of idiosyncrasy. I should know, being a card carrying member of the northeast myself. But the ping pong loving, beer swilling, Rattler rocking and walking billboard for a tattoo shop Worrest is truly a poster child for all that makes the east both wacky and wonderful. He also has a new video releasing this week. Here's a bit more info on the man and his latest creations:
About Worrest
The 25 year old Worrest hails from the [Washington]e|place , D.C. area and has been skateboarding competitively for well over a decade. Skate fans may recall that he came in 7th at the Maloof Money Cup [Washington]e|place , D.C. earlier this month . In addition to being sponsored by eS Skateboarding, Worrest counts PitCrew, Independent Trucks, Spitfire, Krooked and Roughneck Hardware among his staunchest supporters. He is also known for his parts in both the Transworld video Right foot forward and the Krooked video Get Familiar .
About the new products
Worrest's latest eS shoe is called "The Edgar." Released just last month, it was designed to be tough enough to take a beating, like a D.C lobbyist on steroids, but comfortable and stylish enough to be worn every day. Worrest spent a good nine months skateboarding in the shoes before deeming the design fit for release. It was during those nine months of test runs that a lot of the filming for the new video was done. The shoe itself features a padded tongue and collar, gel heel inserts, a rubber sole and double wrapped vulcanized construction. It also comes in four different colors; maroon, black, gray and navy with black accents. Skate fans may catch Worrest wearing it during his Bobby Worrest vs The Edgar video premier that is set to kick off at The Berrics when the clock strikes midnight on September 24, 2011. A sneak peak at the video, for those that are interested, is available on both the YouTube and Vimeo websites.
My children are skateboarders and I have a history of following the sport.
