Last year was the worst, which means we’ve got an extra-stacked pack of T-Eddys for the skate world’s gaffes and god-awful moments. Plenty of praise in there, too! Don’t get pissed if you made the list.

For all the people he clowns, Gary also gives respect in equal measure. Here is the king of skate news in his own words.

Suciu combines quickness and heat for his new Spitfire spot. Don’t take your eyes off the board.

Daewon, MJ, Silas, Busenitz, Heitor, Niels, Lil Dre, Suciu (and more!) scour the planet, crushing granite and laying down lines in adidas’ 2019 epic flick. Gustav’s curtain-closing part is gonna mess you up—again. 

Frog is changing fashion forever and maybe skateboarding too. You’ll never feel the same about either again.

Tony Hawk, Omar Hassan and plenty of legends-to-be crew up in Canada to blast at the Big O and party in the parks. Our guy Rye Beres documents the destruction.

Suciu, Spanky, Reynolds and the RVCA team tear it up on their jet-setting journey from the States to the Middle East, Oz and back. Bask in the beauty of this full length with fresh eyes. 

A mainstay of the DC scene, Pulaski park is still going strong three decades deep. Darren Harper shouts out the legends before taking the plaza by storm with Tiago, Suciu, Marshall, Curtin and Worrest. Every line hits with pop and authority. Learn your history and get stoked on the future.

It’s been a year but the love keeps flowing. We’ve added new testimonials to this retrospective page. Take a few moments and soak up more stories from the life and times of Jake Phelps.
