UPDATE: WKND Introduces Tom Karangelov as Pro
In a move that was heavily foreshadowed in Tom K.’s Out There, WKND has officially introduced him as its new team addition. This is the second time that Grant Yansura has picked Skate Mental’s pocket for a big-name pro. Wonder what Staba has to say about it all? Despite the very public separation with Johan Stuckey, and Alexis’s subsequent departure, it appears that the WKND festivities continue. Check the announcement below.
UPDATE 12.18.20: In addition to the skit, Tom and Grant put together a video part to seal the deal with some footage. Check it above.
UPDATE 12.15.20: WKND still wins when it comes to skits; this American Psycho parody introducing Tom K. is fantastic.
