INTERVIEW Marcus Bandy PHOTOS Various Artist Anthony Shetler is the man! He’s a great skateboarder, a leader and builder of true skateboarding community, and an inspiringly creative entrepreneur. This East Coast OG has risen from dangerously heavy beginnings to become a powerfully passionate and balanced human being. Street savvy, humble, motivated, and infectiously stoked—I’m proud and honored to call Anthony Shetler my skate […]
PHOTOS & INTERVIEW Marcus Bandy Rip City Boardshop in Portland, Oregon is one of the truly OG “Skate Everything” shops and one of our favorites, hands-down. We are stoked to hang out, shop, and skate with the Rip City posse every time we visit the PDX. Rip City was conceived by JP Rowan back in 2009 […]
PHOTOS & INTERVIEW Jake Grove Looking back at all the different projects photography class has thrown my way I’ve realized that my friend Jasper Ohlson has been the subject for the majority of my work. With a solid understanding of photography and a serious talent for skating everything, Jasper has made for the best subject […]
INTERVIEW & PHOTOS Marcus Bandy Not for the pay-out. Not for the fame. But rather, for the love of the ride! Many will come-and-go in skateboarding as trends and external incentives wax and wain, but those who will remain are the true-school skaters—like our Canadian homie, Eric Jensen—who ride any-which-way that they can, and because there is no other choice […]
INTERVIEW & PHOTOS Ali Mehraban My first encounters with Jimmy were memorable for how blatantly terrible they were. Before Wheelbase, before Rad Train, and before I was even shooting downhill, I was at Blacks and needed to buy wheels off him; so my buddy and I head over to the gas guzzling Suburban Jimmy used to […]
INTERVIEW & PHOTOS Ali Mehraban When I look back at my favorite pictures I’ve ever shot, a large part of those images are of Brett Ciabattini. It could be his top-notch style, or his strong jawline? Whatever it is, there’s something about working with Brett that makes for photos I cherish greatly. We spent a bit […]
My first “close encounter” with Chance Gaul was back in 2012 when he shot me in the back with an Air Soft pistol while I was watering a parched tree near my tent—he was 15 then and mischevious as a hellcat (I’m not sure what a hellcat is exactly, but let’s just agree it’s a mischevious creature!). […]
Byron Essert has been a close homie of mine for a few years. I remember seeing him skating around some of my local hills when we were both a bit younger. To be honest, at first I thought he was kind of a kook—until we really got down to it and had a good sesh […]
BRAD PARKER; OLLIE BROOOOO. GIF: Sethmarcus Bandybrown. Most skaters have never heard of Brad Parker. That’s super Lame! We want to change that shit because Brad is most definitely one of the gnarliest and rawest all-around skaters that we have ever met. His creativity and mash-it-all approach is an inspiration, a breath of freshness, and […]
