Released from Bayside State Prison in May 2025, Wenning has since expressed his determination to move forward and rebuild his life. While in prison, he became sober after many years of using various substances. Rising to prominence through projects like Photosynthesis, The DC Video, and Plan B: Live After Death, Wenning built a reputation as one of the most stylish and technically skilled skaters of his generation, riding for brands such as Habitat, DC Shoes, and Plan B during a golden age of plaza-skating. No longer under parole, he has returned to skateboarding, sharing clips of himself back on a board and speaking openly about taking things “one day at a time.” For both his fans and the wider skateboarding community, Wenning’s release marks not just the return of a legend within skateboarding, but also the beginning of a new chapter in his turbulent yet iconic career.
