It happened that I skated with Aiden Chamberlain once before at a spot with rails set against a white-brick building. We skated those for a while until someone decided that we’d check out a hulking rail that was just across the street. Only two of the group of about eight had the guts to huck themselves down the green, daunting monster. One of those kids was Mr. Chamberlain.  … read more

I’m now dated because owning the physical copy of a skate video was once necessary. This film and its constituent parts will be someday scattered into the vortex of YouTube, but do yourself a favor and get a copy anyway. … read more

In skateboarding, it’s easy for skaters to become known for a certain trick that they do really well, or do a lot.

Salt Lake City’s next generation of Sk801 rippers is here, seeking out all of the tracked and untracked territory that this city has to offer, and Christian Bourne is one of them. A mellow dude off his skateboard and an absolute animal on one (kid straight-up broke a handrail on a back lip attempt), Bourne and I found some time to chat at Fairmont Park while we watched the rest of his crew tear up the park.  … read more

Gregg Godfrey showed he’s the old vet by back flipping a tricycle right out of the gate while Crum took a more laid back approach, launching the La-Z-Boy.

Some people just have unbelievable power and finesse in their ollies. Garrison is one of those guys. I would have been happy with an ollie from curb cut to curb cut here, but Garrison saw the challenge to clear the whole driveway to the flat on the other side, and went for it.  … read more
