Jovontae Turner Mixtape
I stumbled across this gem recently. I think what promoted me was from watching the 9 Club episode with Jason Lee. Jason was speaking highly of Jovontae’s 3 flips. I decided to take a gander to see what that was all about, and Jovontae certainly has a nice flick. Continue reading
Skateboarding History: The Leap of Faith
There are a few moments in skateboarding history that are truly monumental. The Leap of Faith is one of them. And it’s such a landmark that no one has done it since.
And it’s just an ollie.
Osiris D3
Osiris D3 – Osiris Men’s D3 2001 Skate Shoe. You can’t go wrong with this shoes! Pick it up today. 
This is a funny story.
When we launched El Skate Shop back in the 1990s, the very first account we got was with Arcade Skateboards and their distribution. I can’t remember the name of the distro – but they sold Arcade Skateboards, Evol Snowboards and they had just released Osiris Shoes. Continue reading
Riley Hawk
Riley Hawk, the son of Tony Hawk. Looks like he went the street skating route and not so much the vert route.
Believe it or not Riley’s dad didn’t FORCE Riley to become a skateboarder. Tony said, “Whatever you want to do.” And as a matter of fact, Riley took a big break from skateboarding during his High School years (which is when most people hone their skating skills). Pretty different. Continue reading
Wee Man
Wee Man!
Wee Man – Dogtown Skateboard Deck Wee Man Sabotage Black 9.25″x31.7″ Old School. You can’t go wrong with this deck! Pick it up today. 
Wow. Where do I begin. Wee Man sold me my FIRST double-kicktail skateboard deck. Before 1991 skateboards basically looked like fish. Then good ol’ Rodney Mullen invented the popsicle shaped boards most of us ride today. Continue reading
Mark Gonzales
Mark Gonzales is THE Godfather of street skating.
He represents the pure spirit of the street skateboarder. He does it for the love and fun of it – and it shows in every turn, ollie and smile that vibrates like electromagnetic radiation, pilfering your body with Gonz particles – all traveling at the speed of Gonz. Continue reading
Rick Howard
Rick Howard help start Girl Skateboards somewhere around 1993. According to World Industries owner, Steve Rocco, Howard stole a bunch of riders from World to start Girl. In retaliation, Steve’s brother Sal started Bitch Skateboards – which didn’t seem to last too long (but might still be big in Japan). Continue reading
Brian Anderson
Brian Anderson is like Robert Horry. He has the honor of serving on two great teams of our time, the Toy Machine legacy of the 1990s and the new Girl dynasty. Continue reading
