Our very own, Kdeezy, sat down with rising Skate Slayer, Tom Ryen recently in a one on one seshn. Ryen talked about how Grenade is now one of his sponsors. This sort of through Kdeezy off, (not really) and made Ryen elaborate more on the topic. It’s true, Grenade will now be moving into Skateboarding which makes alot of sense for them as a brand.
So look for Grenade to start blowing up in Skateboarding just as they did in Snowboarding. In the meantime, check out the video below, as the Grenade crew tears up the Nike Park.

Seshn: Wait a minute isn’t Grenade snowboarding?
T.R.: Yah it is, but Danny[Kass] has so much skate influenced style that he wants to branch out Grenade. I don’t know much about the project he blew up snowboarding so I have not doubt that he can blow up skateboarding.

Seshn: So how is BME click for a sponsor?
T.R: It sure is a trip. We just did a photo shoot with the whole click for the new clothing line that is about to drop. We do have a lot of fun and kicking it with Lil Jon is wild for sure. We party like rockstars, and live it up big. Really though it’s pretty cool. I think the best time we had was at the Winter X Games.

T.R: Wow there are too many to mention. But Danny Kass is one the best. Also my friends in Norway and my brother Thor.
Seshn: What are you going to do when you become rich?
T.R: I would have to build an indoor skate park for all my friends to hang out and have fun.
Seshn: Who is your favorite skater?
T.R: Wow I get asked this question a lot. If I had to pick it would be Mark Johnson….he is just unreal!
Seshn: What is in your IPOD now?
T.R: Right now its a little Biggie and Rick Ross. I like to listen to everything from 80’s to Hip Hop. My skate style is influenced by music as well. So whatever gets me pumped and moving is what I like to listen too!
