For years I have heard about how filthy Akash Rishi is at skateboarding. Growing up around Kent, WA, his name is the one that comes to mind when asked who the real talented skateboarders are coming out of the greater Seattle areas. Akash has always stayed committed to his passion of skateboarding. You can see him out at local parks repping the NW super tough and he even chooses to give back to the local PNW skating community by teaching and coaching young kids how to skate out in Bellevue at the local parks and at some of the area’s newer facilities. Back in early January, he mentioned that he’d won a huge contest that allowed him to have a skate session with Ryan Sheckler and today we are super excited to share the footage from his trip out to California where he got to spend a couple days with Red Bull, Ryan Sheckler, and other pro skaters.
Check out the short video posted by Red Bull and be sure to share it if you can! It’s not often that someone you know gets to fly out to Cali to have a #SeshWithThePros.

Stay tuned for more dope footage of Akash as he progresses into the world of amateur/professional skating! One day soon we hope to turn on ESPN and see yet another #LocalLegend killin it for the rest of the world to see.
