Museum Hours Are Fleeting

We are hosting another Long Ledge Jam with Adidas at Tompkins next Wednesday, September 30th @ 4 P.M. 📅 Even longer ledge! Even more cash for tricks! Check the recap from last year’s to relive the magic.

“Maybe people want to see our videos, but they don’t really buy boards anymore, or they get free boards, or they don’t want to buy skate apparel or whatever; that’s all fine. I get it.

Four Billion Skaters

Unsolicited reminder for everybody to get reacquainted with the story of Fred Gall saving the Cambodian monks from a burning building. Shit deserves a 30 For 30.

Tristan Mershon, creator of the Fool’s Gold video from this past May, has a quick new check-in edit called “Almost There.” First time that garage on Crosby and Houston has popped up in an edit for a while ;) Classic spot from simpler times.
