Jake Baldini becomes the first person to ever return a purchase and replenish his balance in the new installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Shout out to Jake and his crew for that bank-to-ledge at Mosquito Beach.

This shouldn’t be a surprise because most of us, in ways large and small, are Bros.” Simple Magic considers the skater to bro pipeline via the lens of Sheckler’s Etnies departure. (27 years?! He was on Etnies for 27 years???)
Transworld’s “Skate Nerd” show is back! The first episode back is with Tincan Skatelore figureheads, Jovi Bathemess and Pat Stiener.
