Bronson bearings held a skate jam, BBQ and best-trick contest at Chicano park last week with some team riders, friends and locals all shredding. Afterwards, the new Bronson Into The Pit video was premiered at Culture Brewing in Ocean Beach.

Skateboarding’s top concrete crushers slug it out on the insane terrain of Red’s Lincoln City, Oregon – parks, pits, dirt and destruction.

Skateboarding is progressing at an unfathomable rate and there’s no better proof than the talent pool at PHX AM. Things just get heavier and heavier each year. Congrats to Ivan Monteiro for taking home the top spot!
