UPDATE: WKND Turns Alex Schmidt Pro With a Hilarious Skit
It must be turning pro season. Following announcements regarding Antonio Durao and Jaakko Ojanen over the past couple of day, WKND just revealed Alex Schmidt as its latest rider to have a signature board. It looks like they staged the surprise in a remote desert location, which is a nice touch because he appears to have no idea that this was coming. Have a look at the play-by-play below.
UPDATE 05.08.19: Instead of a pro part, Alex Schmidt opted for a pro skit complete with cameos from Kenny Anderson and Matt Field. Check it out above.
