Taking a faceful of concrete is one way to tune out a rambling MC. After a quick nap courtesy of the second wall, he’s alright. 

The sun was bright, the revvs were high, and Oakland’s concrete sanctuary of the skate Gods was alive with the spirit of the recently departed. Fix yourself a coffee, grab a snack and enjoy the show.

Consolidated has a 25-year history of pure rip-riding and skate independence. This full vid features legend Roberto Aleman, young blood Demarcus James, ageless Mike Peterson and many more. Long live the Cube!

You know this vid is gonna be a high-definition edit with drone filming and exciting corporate endorsements. Yeah, right! The Cube keeps it hardcore. We love these guys and are looking forward to this one.

Holy smokes! Demarcus must have been feeling brave on this day as he goes for a gnarly line and gets stuffed.

Born in 1979, the Dish was the first skatepark in SF. The Trust for Public Land came at me about a year ago to redo the Dish; I recommended Grindline and they got the job. Fast forward to Dec. 3, 2016 the ribbon was cut and the park was open. Come and get it at the top of Hudson St. SF, CA.  —Jake Phelps

Our annual bowl bash at the Diamond Mine never disappoints. Cheers to Ben Hatchell for taking home the top spot.

The 5th annual Halloween Hellride presented by Diamond and Thrasher went down Friday night. The skating was so hot the LA fire marshal showed up and shut it down but check out some of the action before he got to the party.

Watch as Schaaf, Kreiner, Lasek, Beckett, Lizzie, Auby, Delfino, Hewitt, Lefty, Dove, the Muscle and many, many more feel the steel and keep it real. Thanks again, Vamp!
