Winky spends so much time in gnarly inverts that Emerica put the logo upside down on his pro shoe. Palming coping like that surely must make you dizzy. I wouldn’t know, but I’ll cop these shoes and I bet I bust a fat sad plant first T. The Winkowskis are going for $84.99, which sounds fairly priced in a world of $100+ kicks. I’m not worried about it… I’m paying for my new shoes with money from the swear jar.

If you’re ready to sell your soul, crawl into the Creature van and get hyped with the horde! The fiends are back to feast on the streets and no spot is safe!
MASHER: Swampfest 2024
A mud-creature emerged from the sludgy waters of Swampfest this year, startling skaters & spectators alike! Oh wait… that was Gravette diggin’ his way out of the pit after gettin’ pitched to his ribcage under the Indy Swamp Rail. Anyone considering attending Swampfest next year should be prepared for permanent trenchfoot and rogue fireworks. Only the gnarliest and most inebriated will step to these obstacles. Let the muddy mayhem commence!
Stoprock is Back & the Dollar Store is Sold Out of Wax Melts
I’m back! I kicked OCD’s ass like Mike V throwin’ hands in a parking lot brawl. What have I been up to? Scraping homemade skate wax from the bottom of my hand-me-down Paula Dean spaghetti pot. I added vanilla passionfruit wax melts so you can smell your grinds and loose chunks of tobacco because I’m a goshdarn lunatic.
Much like Dustin Dollin hurdling his carcass onto a steep-as-shit handrail, I’m delving back into blogging blacked-out and hungry for concrete. This is for the love! I’ve missed writing and I’m hyped to get this going again. I don’t have much of a plan and I don’t need one. Diogenes would probably sleep in the trashcan of your local but I know you have zero interest in a mouse analogy, despite your love for artificial cheese squares. Let’s be real though, those squares are buttery on some scrambled eggs.
So I guess follow this blog if you want some radical skateboarding content. We’ll figure it out. I promise. We have Mark Suciu workin’ the numbers for us, so I’m not worried.
See you around, sucka. -rp
Aurelien Giraud VS. The New Berrics Spot
This euro gap ain’t no joke! Time to christen it and Aurelien is on deck! The number of tricks this dude stomps down this thing shows the massive amount of confidence he has on his board. Malto is there for moral support, but it’s all eyes on Aurelien! Spot defeated! Can’t wait to see what else goes down on this euro.
Brandon Westgate’s “508” New Balance Part
Brandon finds time to step outta the cranberry bog for a new edit with his shoe sponsor! Dude’s skating is big and boisterous! Brandon seems like such a chill dude, but his skating is so off the wall! Huge gaps and crazy ledge control make this part deserving of a rewind! Keep at it, Brandon!
Man of das World
I’ll catch flack for this, but I kinda almost forgot about Palace. But I never forgot about Heitor! This dude is top talent and you don’t have to be no skate rat to recognize that! When the opening trick is as wild as this, you know the whole edit is going to be FIRE! Don’t sleep on Heitor! And I guess Palace is back on my map… whoops. All love!
Tanner Van Vark’s “T.V.V.” Part for REAL
What a high energy edit! The team stacks clips, followed by a crazy edit from Tanner! Everyone knows Tanner is good, but I feel like he’s still underrated. Dude gets creative but still hits heavy! Real Skateboards knows what’s up and their whole team is filled with righteous rippers! If you want the best of the best and the most up to date street carnage, this is the edit for you! Keith would be proud!
Introducing Erik Herrera | Chocolate Skateboards
New blood on the Chocolate team! Erik Herrera bringing it hard in the streets. Major props to Erik! Getting on Chocolate is no small feat! Dude seems like an all around solid street skater and that Chocolate vibe is all up in this edit! If I’m not mistaken, Chocolate had some recent AM departures so it’s good to see some fresh players on the team! Go get ’em, Erik!
In the Zone: Hyun Kummer [RAW]
I’ve always been of the opinion that raw clips is where it’s at! Check the process on this hefty ollie from Hyun Kummer. Not only is the trick dope as hell, dude did it with a bruised heel! And can we talk about the stylish 180 off the curb after the make?! Hit play, homie!
