Guy can flat out drive, and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. We saw him walking across the Casino at Buffalo Bills during the Mint. My buddies son said "Dad theres Shreddy..." He heard him and came over and talked with us for at least 30 minutes. The kids were so stoked, he signed a bunch of stuff, took a bunch of pics. Super cool guy and loves his fans, definitely not taking his fame for granted.

I met him last year at DS at the red onion and we exchanged numbers. My bro in law was considering selling his Tatum prerunner so the idea was to pay Wilkey to make a social media video short of the car to get more interest in it. Super nice guy

Yep. Go back to that thread from a few years ago when that got posted here, people were TEARING him apart. He spun it into a HUGE marketing deal for himself, WELL PLAYED SIR, wellllll played.

Hes got a shreddy dock crusher boat, see them partying in the channel often, seems like a nice guy. Pretty sure Vin was actually behind the wheel in the Havasu video though.

I believe he fled to Dubai for a bit when the San Diego PD were looking for him, only in America can you build a brand out of doing some illegal. Good for him.

He never fled to Dubai lol. He did 10 or so days in Jail and paid his fines. He did sell the car that he got in trouble in to a guy in dubai before Pd could impound it.

His class 11 build ( called “Slug Shark” ) was a really cool series. Mad skills to build and playing to win.
He also custom fab’d some cool ass tabs for the little jet boat which seem to work really well. And that frickin’ trailer is Sick!!!!!!
Check out his YouTube channel: “Shreddy Lyfe”

Yea exactly. I think it was a lucky spin that could’ve gone one of two ways and he killed it going the way it did.
The original claim to fame video was the best one imho too.

You know that is Leah Prurett the top fuel racer wake surfing. She is hot AF and goes to Havasu a lot

She hangs out with a friend of mine. I saw her and Tony Stewart last weekend when I stopped by his house
