Tony Latham recently entered the pro ranks thanks to Jacuzzi Unlimited, and if you're familiar with this wild man's skating, you know first-hand it's well-deserved. The dude is unhinged, original, and downright mystifying—in all the best ways—and his debut pro part is a great example.
Honestly, the first clip sets the tone perfectly. From start to finish, Tony absolutely killed it here, and it reminded me that I've never really seen a dull part from the dude. He's the type of skater who keeps you on the edge of your seat, that's for sure, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Super refreshing. Hold on tight and press play. Congrats, Tony!
The Talking Heads track is the perfect fit for Tony's skating. His gear is outta control at times and his bag of tricks is so out there, you truly never know what you're gonna get. It's not easy to drop a video part like this these days, in all honesty. The "normal" to "obscure" ratio when it comes to spots and trick selection is heavily one-sided, and again, I mean that in the best way.
"Tony Latham has been inducted into professional skateboarding for Jacuzzi Unlimited," the brand mentioned. "This video piece will explain to you why he is worthy of such titles." And it couldn't be more true. Tony shows he’s got the versatility and consistency to hang with the best, and it's not just about checking off tricks, either—if only we could be a fly on the wall of this dude's brain.
Louie Barletta and the Jacuzzi Unlimited squad continue to carve out a reputation for doing things their own way, naturally blending raw talent with a fresh, no-rules approach to skateboarding. It's super rad. Adding a skater like Tony to the pro ranks fits that vibe perfectly, if you ask me.
Look for Tony's debut pro model boards at your local shop, and do yourself a favor—keep this part on repeat today. It just might spark the desire to get out and get weird this weekend.
