Design A Blue Park Obstacle!

Tenant and QS are hosting a contest to design an obstacle for Blue Park.

Download the form below, and then either hand draw, digitally render, or plug in a photo reference of an existing structure with notes outlining your dream obstacle. The finalists will be selected by QS and Tenant, and then voted on by the public via QS. We will pay to have the winning obstacle built.

Please note! This will not be a PERMANENT concrete obstacle at Blue Park. It must be movable — we don’t have a million dollars and no, we can’t get the Love Park marble for it. Be creative, but also be realistic.

ALL ENTRIES ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2 EOD. Please submit your entry to blueparkcontest @ gmail [dot] com. Finalists will then be voted on afterwards.

Nolimitbrod was the MVP once again, two skate events in a row.

It is tough to remember a skateboard moment that went truly viral outside of our ecosystem — apart from a slam or Jamal Smith’s brilliance — but those Woody videos have made it everywhere from Akademiks to XXL.

Wood & Plants & Oceans

“I just saw myself as a homie who was helping another homie. That was not something that ever crossed my mind like, ‘Am I good at this?’ Both of us are happy in that moment.” Jenkem has an amazing interview with Briana King about her meet-ups for girls and LGBTQ youth learning to skateboard.

“I think you really got to listen to your feeling. Don’t go for the show. Go for your heart.” Lucas Puig on relationships, wood, plants, oceans and not having his johnson fall out when he’s skating in shorts — also for Jenkem, also inspiring. Maybe it’s time we start working on a sequel to the “Poolside” remix
