UPDATE: Weckingball Has Secured the Trademark for His Name

We admittedly haven’t been paying close attention to Weckingball‘s antics since the aftermath of Alex Olson calling him a human erection during Episode 09 of Mission Statement. But between Instagram and Slap, we’ve stayed relatively up-to-date on his beef with Stevie Williams. That just got kicked up about 10 notches with the revelation that Josh Kalis trademarked Weckingball’s name last month. The categories are t-shirts and skateboard decks. So Kalis essentially owns the rights to any signature product that Weck could potentially have in the future. Checkmate, game over, is pretty much all that we have to say about that.

UPDATE 02.12.20: Weckingball dropped us a note in our inbox last night letting us know that he has secured the rights to his name. You can view the updated trademark below. We’re posting this addendum in the name of fair and accurate journalism. We’ll now consider this case closed.

Watch Sebastien Cao and Theo Meas as they shred in the streets of South America.

The video was filmed during three months of backpacking from Mexico to Costa Rica, crossing Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Making it even more impressive (and a reason needs to come calling), “TUANY” was entirely filmed, edited, and animated using an iPhone with Theo and Sebastien doing the editing themselves (and some of the filming too).
