In the latest episode of Dealer’s Choice, Alex Wilmms sits down with Bronson to talk about the people, places, and moments that have gotten him to where he is in skateboarding today.
With a shuffled deck of questions in front of him, Wilmms dives into stories from his earliest days at Carmel Valley skatepark (and meeting Tony Hawk the first time he ever went) to some of his heaviest clips to date—trust me, there are a lot. As one of SD’s finest, this episode hits close to home for many. Dive in:

The dude has grinded kinked rails that would humble rollerbladers (seriously, peep the last clip in this edit) and hearing him talk about powering through some of these sessions with heel bruises, sprained toes and a variety of injuries obviously makes it all that much gnarlier.

If I were you, I’d tap that post above and watch all of Alex’s raw clips from his gnarly SK8MAFIA part, because it really provides a look behind the curtain that shows just how buck Willms can get. It’s all or nothing for this hungry ripper.
Every battle. Every slam. Every heartbreak. It’s easy to watch a finished video part and forget how brutal skateboarding truly is. The amount of times this dude got tossed to the unforgiving cement just to get up and try again is admirable, to say the least.

Alex has dealt with a few major injuries in the past few years that he’s been slowly combatting. I’d say that comes with the territory. But if we know anything about this ripper, it’s that he’ll bounce back soon enough and continue to charge. Looks to me like he’s been getting back into the swing of things, and we love to see it.
Keep making San Diego proud, Alex! We see you.
