Union Square has drawn skaters to the heart of San Francisco for decades and its recent resurgence has added a powerful new chapter to its history. A heavy lineup plus the presence of Abair makes this edit an instant classic.

Abair put his body on the line every time he went out in The City. See the shake ups and glorious makes from his final part. His spirit’s still in these streets.

David Abair will be remembered not only for his incredible skateboarding, or his slams, but also for his compassion, his empathy and the love he gave his friends and family. Read Walker Ryan's tribute then comb through Dave's deep catalog of parts again.  

Since moving out to SF, Dave’s established himself as an underground hero of the hills. We talk to the man himself to learn how The City vibes with his East-Coast sensibilities, sobriety and his undeterred work ethic.

Dave clashes with the hills and houses of The City, with Walker Ryan popping in for backup on the castle steps. Strap in for one helluva ride.

Toebock’s on the scene with Dave as he flips the hips and goes over the top at Miley.

Abair tears up The Bay’s walls and works the Wallenberg beat for Scumco. Hard to go wrong with a VX in The City. 

Check out the uncut clips of Dave Abair from Novia.

Shannon & the Clams set the mood for Abair's assault on the streets of SF, finishing up with one of the sketchiest slams you’ll ever see.
