Quay ‘Skater Of The Month’ July - Rhys ‘Resty’ Waddingham

Right then Rhys, give us the credentials… full name, age, etc.?

I'm Rhys Waddingham, I'm age 17 and I am currently doing manufacturing engineering at Hull college. I've just passed my first year, and I'm going into level 3 to get my qualification.

Any plans with this? Like British Airospace type work or something?

The plans to go with this is to go into a job related to the education, I am currently doing such as making tools, doing drawings and just making anything really.

Sounds rad, and well done on passing level 3! can you go straight into work woth this then? or is it now onto a degree course?

Thank you, I'm going into my 2nd year to get my degree and then after that I'll be able to go straight to a job, if a pass that year aswell!

All sounds rad! Good luck with it! So, I hear you’ve been working on a video part, how is this coming along dude? And can we expect some punk rock music on it or what ha ha?

Thank you! Yeah so my video part is coming along slowly, but I will start getting more clips down faster with that new board I got from the store.

We will have to see how the music fits in so who knows! Could be Blink or Misfits, those are the main ones I'm looking at to be fair.

Rad looking forward to seeing it! How’re you editing it? On phone or computer with like Premiere Pro or Final Cut etc.?

Hell yeah, I'm editing it on Capcut because that's my go too. It has got no watermarks and you can take there logo off for free.

Not bad! Is that on phone or computer?

I'm editing it on my phone, It's going really good though, I can't wait to see the final result myself.

Yeah for sure mate! That is the beauty about taking your time and filming a part, the end result makes the effort worth while! Something that seems to be forgotten these days with ‘Instantgram’ ha ha.

Yeah, exactly! More time takes more effort, and a better result.

Fair one, well I’m looking forward to checking it out boss!

Thanks!

Right, last Questions before we wrap it up, are you stoked on getting Skater of the month?

Hell yeah I am! it shocked me when you said it ha ha.

Mans been smashing it! Always watching what people are up too Skating, ha ha!

Once again thank you so much, I appreciate it alot! I'm glad you're liking the videos there's more to come for sure!

All good! So, How do you feel about having a SOS store in town again?

It is great on having the store in town, it's nice to have since Hull & East Yorkshire has nothing.

That is what I thought when opening it, good to have something in town, do you like the fact you can come in and check products out, stand on a deck, see the shape etc.? Compared to just buying online for example.

Yeah, It's so much of a relief to actually get to see and feel the boards that could possibly match my liking.

Wicked man! That is what it is all about, coming in and getting a feel for the products, especially something like Skateboards etc.!
