Hot Banks Summer

Thanks to everyone who grabbed a piece of Snacks in Progress merch. We still have free shipping on all orders over $50 for the time being 📦 Shout out to the deli men who keep our lives running 24 hours.

Free has a premiere of Garrett Boozer’s opening part in Matty Hilzenrath’s all-NJ video, A $20 Of Regular. All those Peaches lines + 5050 flip back tail + the flip back noseblunt bonk on the sewer cap + the fuckin’ nose manny nollie flip on the goddamn grate bridge = one of the best Jersey parts in recent memory. We’ll be premiering a part from it this week, and hardcopies of the full thing are due out soon.

Jamie Reyes has been inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame 👑

Civil Skateshop’s first-ever full-length video is now live. Filmed enitrely in Rhode Island, our country’s smallest state with no shortage of crust and the occasional slab of inviting marble ;)
