Wes is the type of guy who makes you scratch your head when he does a trick and say, “What would you call that?” Everything about him is unique and signature Wes, from his riding to his haircut. He’s the type that always has a smile on his face, and you never get tired watching his riding. His style is kinda like a good jam band, one that can play the same song time and time again but plays it a little differently each time.
