Technotronic sets the mood for a sun-splashed weekend of ripping on the California coast. Heavy lineup, heavier moves and nothing but good times.

Vans threw a big contest last weekend with a bunch of skaters you don’t usually associate with the words “organized competition.” Tyler Bledsoe, Breana Geering, Taylor Kirby, Austyn Gillette, Simon Bannerot, Mason Silva and hella more throw down the gauntlet for some fun in the OC sun.

Jake led one of the most extraordinary lives of all time. There’s no way to fully document his legend but we did our best. Based on the June 2019 memorial mag (and expanded here), this massive feature has 50 years’ worth of Jake photos as well as testimonials from his closest friends. It’s almost impossible to absorb all of this content in one sitting and it’s meant to be sampled in various stages. His story will live forever and his spirit continues in everyone who loves to roll. We love you, Jake!

Skateboarding’s top concrete crushers slug it out on the insane terrain of Red’s Lincoln City, Oregon – parks, pits, dirt and destruction. Grindline the Band, Arctic, Bad Shit and many more provide the soundtrack as the crew pushes the limits for those who can’t. Pure mayhem and good times! Where were you?!

LA feels the sonic sting of the latest SFYL guitar battle. Watch Nuge, Neck and Daewon cheer Figgy to rock-n-roll victory.

This was one of Jake’s last rides and the mission sure as hell didn’t disappoint. This Oz raw edit is a testament to the eternal stoke of skateboarding. Cherish your time with your homies!

Jake at the helm with a gang of heavyweights in tow—this Indy trip to OZ is pure destruction on all levels.

Indy brought a stacked crew Down Under for one of Jake’s last rides and the guys sure as hell didn’t disappoint. Who do you think was eating scabs in exchange for beer? Guess you gotta read to find out, kid.

Neckface got free rein from Stance to hype up his new signature line of gear, so he picked his favorite holiday, Halloween and threw a launch party.
