Erick Winkowski | Red Bull SŌLUS 2021 Entry

Ryan Sheckler has once again opened the doors to his skatepark and invited 17 of the world’s most well-rounded skateboarders to battle it out in year two of Red Bull SŌLUS. Each skater has one hour to put together their best line at The Sandlot; no crowd, no other skaters, no distractions – just an internal battle to get the best line possible.

Erick Winkowski is the definition of unique. From trick selection and board size, Erick has carved his own path in skateboarding that looks like no one else. While old-school 80’s shapes have made a comeback in recent years, no one rides them like Erick. He can do Ho-Ho plants on vert or Smith grind a 20-stair handrail on them. Yeah, he’s something special.

Erick rides for Santa Cruz, Indy, OJ, Mob Grip, Bronson Speed Co, and Emerica.

Judges Vanessa Torres, Mike Sinclair, and Jason Rothmeyer will evaluate each video based on style, progression and creativity. Winner will be announced October 17th.Following the judges announcement, you will have a chance to vote on your favorite video part and the fan favorite will be announced on October 20th.
