Watch: Stab High Standout Decimates South Sumatra

“Damn, I had no idea Willis had that in his bag!”

“Damn, I had no idea Willis had that in his bag.”

That came from our part-time Editor-in-Chief, part-time Stab High chief justice officer, Michael Ciaramella, after watching Willis Droomer stomp a backside big-spin the size of a horse during the early rounds at Shizunami.

Willis was a late call-up for Stab High Japan. Found out he was in less than 48 hours before the event. Hopped a plane, wandered into the pool, and by the end of it, had a new sticker flung at him. He now rides for Rage.

When we spoke last year, Willis said he wanted to stack clips for a few years before knuckling down for a tour run. But if that plan shifts, there’s clearly a place for him in the film world. His last edit, shot on A-frame envy somewhere off the edge of Antarctica, just ticked over 100k views on YouTube.

Not bad for a kid with 1k subscribers.

His latest vid, the one above, sees him hyperactive in Krui. And, again, hard to ignore.
