Wasser Pro, K.T. Married

Marcello Campanello by Matt Price 📷, jacked from the 18 East Copenhagen zine. Might be, idk, the “summeriest” skate photo in recent memory, and that felt appropriate as this one closes out.

Tuesday because Labor Day, etc. ☀️

Connor Champion and Josh Velez share a quick lil’ Barcelona part for Grand Collection.

“All I cared about was money…and then I jumped on a skateboard. And I was like, dude, I forgot how much fun this was. What the fuck was I doing? All that fucking money did nothing for me.” V Magazine is probably the least likely place you’d expect to find a profile of Eugene Kang and Terminal Skateshop, the shop he runs in Washington Heights out of his sixth floor walk-up apartment building, but it’s beautiful.

‘BRAT’ — The First Video By Carpet Company Is Live

Make skateboards, and people will ask, “who’s on the team?!”

Actually, it’s usually the first thing people ask when you start a board brand.

For the longest time, Carpet avoided answering that question, and kept forging ahead toward becoming one of today’s best brands by going against the grain: hand-printing and numbering every one of their boards that make it to the masses, engineering a custom-blank tee that you can quite literally feel the difference of when rummaging through your local shop’s shirt rack, and sticking to their roots in Baltimore, away from the hotbeds of the “industry.” Hell, they got their own building before they dropped a skate video.

“It’s ironic and sad that a culture whose activity became popular enough to have space allotted for its own built environments would go on to design spaces according to its own tastes that would then become the worst environments for the further development and continuation of the culture.” Dave Caddo got on the Substack wave: Skait Brane explores how to better use street spots as a guiding light in how skateparks are designed.
