In the world of skateboarding there's one quality that's prized above all others among the heroes and greats: watchability – that ability to draw gaze in a crowded field. Skateboarding is a very crowded field these days, but Jake Wooten has watchability in spades.
Hailing from Tennessee, Jake has overcome a lot of personal adversity to reach the upper echelons of the skate game. His mother and father struggled with addiction, so he was raised by his aunt and uncle, who encouraged him to try out different hobbies. One of those was skateboarding, which would go on to change his life.
