Skate Park Etiquette

Skate Park Etiquette
By

This month I’m going to touch on the subject of keeping the park clean. I mean, what’s worse than hitting a fart rock at ten miles per hour? Well, it could be stepping in some douchebag’s chewed up gum in your brand new kicks.  I know that you don’t own the park or anything, but if you skate there on a daily basis it’s your unspoken job to clean that bitch up. … read more

Skate Terminator: Matt Fisher

Skate Terminator: Matt Fisher
By

I think Matt Fisher is a terminator. He seems to be sent from the future to destroy Utah County’s spots.  It can’t be a coincidence that he is on the same shoe team (DC, who gave Matt a “Golden Ticket” to their King of Chicago contest) as Danny Way (who I heard is actually from Mars, not the future).

Above the Crowds: Kevin Fedderson

Above the Crowds: Kevin Fedderson
By

Everyone knows that a lot of the younger skateboarders today are progressing at a level beyond comprehension, and that’s exactly what drew me to Kevin Fedderson in the first place. I remember running into him at Sandy Park when I was still in high school and every time I saw him there, he had at least two or more new tricks dialed in and on lock.

Here are a few random observations if you plan to take a skate trip to New York. … read more

Princess Kennedy: Holy Craft!

Princess Kennedy: Holy Craft!
By

 While I was hanging out with Bea Dazzler (this super fierce RGDQ/designer), I coaxed her into helping me patch a pair of my favorite skinny jeans. While I sat crafting my pants back together, I realized how much I missed sitting around a good old-fashioned stitch and bitch with my girlfriends.
