FREESTYLE IS JUST TALKING TO YOURSELF OUT LOUD AND GETTING PAID FOR IT

by Dez Fontaine 2 hours ago

I went to this open mic spot last week, right, and I watched this kid get on stage who couldn't have been more than nineteen. No paper. No net. Just him and a beat that was already halfway through the second verse when he decided to exist in it. And honestly it was the realest thing I've seen in mon...
SKATEBOARDING AND THE ART OF LOOKING STUPID IN FRONT OF PEOPLE YOU RESPECT

by Dez Fontaine Tue at 9:00 PM

I got pushed by this girl named Maya at the park yesterday. Not like aggressive pushed, but the kind of shove that means something. She was watching me try the same line for like twenty minutes, failing the same way every single time, and she just rolled up and went "yo, you're thinking too much." T...

The real education happens when you're sitting on the edge of a spot with your board across your lap, just observing. That's when the city st...
SKATEBOARDING IS JUST AN EXCUSE TO OWN THE SPACE NOBODY GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO USE

by Dez Fontaine Tue at 8:30 AM

I figured out something wild the other day. Skateboarding isn't actually about the tricks or the speed or even the board itself. It's about walking into a place that wasn't designed for you and deciding you belong there anyway. That's the whole game right there.Think about it. Every skate spot is so...
