A Chat with Jerry Hsu on Photography and Leaving Enjoi
San Jose’s Jerry Hsu is one of my all-time favorite human beings and definitely one of my top favorite skateboarders. Jerry possesses all the things that used to count for something as a skateboarder: creativity, style, integrity, an opinion, and a...

Despite the age-old rumor that skateboarders are illiterate, we have indisputable photographic and videotape evidence that proves just the opposite.
Scientists Have Cloned the World’s Most Handsomest Skater
Alien Workshop’s Dylan Rieder is undeniably the hottest man on Earth. It only makes sense, then, that scientists in Belgium have replicated him so that their citizens can bask in his beauty the same way we have in America.

Ed Templeton’s Huntington Beach
For a skateboarder growing up on the East Coast in the 80s and 90s, Huntington Beach seemed like ground zero. When I finally visited after turning 18, it was like Hitler had won the war. Blonde and blue-eyed was the norm and Army/Navy stores sold Nazi...

Riley Hawk, like all white, teenage Americans, makes stoner rock in his garage and is afraid of big-booty video girls. Unlike other rich stoner kids, though, he actually does stuff. I talked to him about why he sucks at being rich.
