MY TAKE: LEE YANKOU RETIREMENT PARTY VIDEO [2026]

Snapshot of Lee from the Baby Blue video, 2018

Is this for real? Has the Canadian KING of POP really retired from professional skateboarding at the age of 36? If it is the truth then congrats on an excellent and gritty pro skate career Lee. Truly one of Canada’s best skaters. EVER. I heard he is a great person off the board as well and that he’s very intelligent. Rumour has it he had attached a copy of his report card to his sponsor me tape back in the day to show he was a scholar student to go along with a radical skater. Good luck on your future endeavours Lee!

Lee Yankou Retirement Party Video is a compilation video by The Local Skate Shop. It depicts Lee Yankous pro skate career from various impressive video parts and interviews. He’s skated in videos such as: Think Skateboards “Business As Usual” (2012), Transworld Skateboarding “Outliers” (2015) and Blue Tile Lounge “Baby Blue” (2019) just to name a few. Lee’s pop is in the upper echelon of professional skateboarders worldwide. The Toronto natives talent on the board speaks for himself. He can do it all if he really wants to but he sure seems happy jumping over things that look taller than him. Sit back and enjoy the gnar!

P.S. This video is of poor quality but it does get better as the video prolongs. See ya!
