Thomas Taylor was a giant in the Atlanta scene and provided a blueprint for how to live the fullest life as a skateboarder. From his pro career to building a family and fostering the community through his Stratosphere shop, he is remembered by everyone he touched. Read closely as his loved ones reflect on his incredible ride.

Load was one of Atlanta's larger-than-life figures that influenced every skateboarder in his path. From setting the standard for DIY builds and teaching the young bucks to stapling P-Stone's leg shut, the scene remembers their legend.    

It's one of the greatest feelings in skating. Hell, it's one of the best thrills in life. Who are some of the all-time classic frontside floaters? It takes one to know one, so we asked Grant to help compile this video and photo feature. 

Lazy river? Private waterpark? Sometimes you don’t ask too many questions, you just gotta go while you have the chance. Regardless, this thing was deeeeeep.

The Hellride crew hit some truly Insane Terrain in the Midwest, sessioning a behemoth bowl before the coping was even set. You wait, you lose. Get some.

You know GT’s hometown is gonna show big up for the anniversary vid. From the backyard to Stratosphere, it was an all-day celebration. Big ups ATL!

GT’s been on Volcom since he was a grom. Check this documentary about one of the gnarliest skaters on the planet and his 20 year run with the Stone. Here’s to XX more, dudes! 

The OC and ATL’s finest converge to celebrate Grant Taylor’s 20 years on Volcom with a skate jam, killer bands, bros, babes, Big Hongry and the premier of Lannie Rhoades’ epic GT documentary. Cheers, Stoners!

We've dreamed of doing a Bust or Bail at the Atlanta 5 block for years. Watch the video five times and then relive it again… in photo form!
