RAW TAPES: Swampfest 2024

jenkemmag 2024-02-29 | If you search for Florida Man headlines in the world of skateboarding you’ll return with one thing. Swampfest. Yeah, we know you’ve probably seen the footage already. Quick news flash, we’re late, but hell, we didn’t even know we were going to go.

We considered letting our footage dump lay to rest, especially since this is mainly a BMX event, but when you see the amalgamation of a redneck civil war reenactment and Woodstock 99, full of muddy slams, mortar close calls, a lot of fire, and unorganized mayhem, it’s hard not to share.

Skateboarding and Soccer with New York Citys Chinatown Soccer Club

jenkemmag 2024-02-05 | The CSC is a longstanding institution of the Lower East Side of Manhattan that’s been meeting over the last twenty years for friendly pickup soccer. The league has been graced by legendary names over the years, like The Gonz, Peter Bici, and Peter Sutherland, and is supported by skateboarders, artists, and goodhearted locals.

If there’s one crew that could get us up at 8 a.m., stretch our hamstrings, and run for half an hour, it’s the CSC. Check it out, laugh at us, and listen to skate photographer and league staple Gerhard Stochl and friends explain their roots and what makes them stand apart from the meathead jocks of the world.

While we scribbled down must-see spots, we gathered a crew of local Asics friends, including Evan Wasser, Kyota Umeki, and Joey Marrone, and geared up for tour guide mode.

Metal Ramp Kids - Fishkill, NY

jenkemmag 2023-08-22 | Pre-fab metal skateparks are a dying breed. These first-generation skateparks are slowly being replaced by slick concrete courses and Olympic-style training facilities.

Our friend Nic Mosher was motivated to capture these parks through his new video series he’s dubbed “Metal Ramp Kids.” Nic believes that at every pre-fab park, there are unique crews of lurkers keeping them alive, and he’s setting out on the road to find out if he’s right.

Growing up, these sorts of tinny parks were not just a place to skate, but they fostered a community of people who made them their home away from home.

His first stop was Fishkill, NY, a village 90 minutes north of New York City. Maybe it was beginner’s luck, but despite the 100-degree heat, he stumbled upon a motley crew hiding out behind the ramps, some local bikers, and a skater trying to make the best of his environment.

Checking Out The Most Expensive Ramp in Manhattan

jenkemmag 2023-08-14 | A few months ago, we got an email from a reader that caught us off guard, inviting us to skate a private mini ramp in the basement of his apartment building located in Manhattan’s extremely pricy Waterline Square neighborhood.

To get the most out of the experience, we brought along Staten Island’s own Leo Heinert to throw down some tricks to push the ramp beyond the basic rock and rolls and axle stalls.

The Devils Playground: A Satanic Skate Spot?

jenkemmag 2023-08-08 | While lurking on IG one day, we saw a post by Tom Karangelov sharing rumors about a skate spot in Orange County and its supposed ties to Satanism. We were dubious of the claims at first but were dying to learn more, so we got to digging.

We won’t spoil too much more and hope you enjoy our little journey into The Devil's Playground.

2013: The Year Modern Skateboarding Broke

jenkemmag 2023-05-01 | 2013 might seem like a random arbitrary year to most people, but to us, it’s the year the current era of skateboarding was born. It kicked off with a number of notable pros leaving their long-term sponsors, and many of them went on to start some of the most dominant brands of today. Our friend and contributor Andrew Murrell picked out and wrote up the most notable events of 2013 in a neat timeline (featured in Jenkem Vol 3), and Alex Coles brought it to life in his usual video essay format.

We Went to Mardi Gras with Nora Vasconcellos

jenkemmag 2023-03-27 | Skateboarding (probably) won’t make you rich, but it can definitely make you rich in experiences. Case in point: What other job would randomly fly you to Mardi Gras to party and interview Nora? When Adidas asked if we might be interested in the idea as a way to promote her new shoe colorway, we quickly agreed as neither Nora or ourselves had ever been to New Orleans and were curious to check out one of the biggest parties of the year. With additional help from Philly (New Orleans native & Owner of Humidity Skate Shop) as a host and tour guide, we headed down to ride the wave of parties, film an interview with Nora while she was injured, and learn from the locals.

Shop Talk at Pharmacy Boardshop Hollywood

jenkemmag 2023-02-23 | Shop managers Kevin Martinez and Spud invited us to stop by Pharmacy’s newest location in Hollywood for the day.

Because we’re not in LA that often, we’re still trying to understand the LA skater, so we grilled them on topics like deck sizes, paying filmers, and bad habits.

Hosted by: Larry Lanza

Special thanks to Pharmacy Hollywood

Exploring More of Hong Kongs Crustiest Spots

jenkemmag 2023-02-22 | Skating in Hong Kong is kind of like if you mixed Tokyo, San Francisco, and New York in a bowl and threw everything into one dense city. The end result is a mix of crusty hills and tight alley spots packed into a densely populated concrete maze. We had our Hong Kong Correspondent Ollie Rodgers take us on a tour of some spots with his crew to see more.

Meet Abe Bethel, one of the best curb skaters in the world

jenkemmag 2023-02-13 | We first learned about Abe when we heard The Nine Club hosts, Ronnie Creager, and Jamie Owens all praising his curb skating skills. Jamie even went as far as calling Abe "the greatest curb skater of all time," which was a claim we had to look into.

It turns out Abe is truly a master of the slappy and had a part in last year’s curb heavy ((THEVIDEO)), which is a great showing of what is possible when you have a rub brick, a shit ton of wax, and a little determination.

Abe has since moved to Miami, opened Greater Skate Shop, and received even more praise for his curb dancing abilities. To get a better idea of his skating, we took a quick trip to Miami to see how he is settling and talked to a few curb-loving pros about his influence.

Chris Mathis in Devils Pocket

jenkemmag 2023-02-10 | Meet Chris Mathis. He’s an ironworker in his 30’s who filmed an entire part on weekends in Jake Todd’s new video “Devil’s Pocket.” It’s not often you find a guy who picks a day job that is equally, if not more, dangerous than skateboarding. Enjoy a Philadelphia skater whose style and trick selection are informed by years in the game and a respect for his craft.
