KIERAN WOOLLEY BECAME A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN SKATEBOARDING BACK IN 2021. THAT WAS THE YEAR HE HAD A NEW GEN IN THE MAG, CAME FIFTH IN THE OLYMPICS AND WENT VIRAL FOR KNOCKING A CAMERAMAN OVER ON LIVE TV.

Wade McLaughlin caught up the the lad from Minnamurra to chat about his prep for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, a heavy elbow injury and the forthcoming ASICS vid that he and the crew have been working on.
