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...
THE TRICK THAT TOOK THREE YEARS AND WHAT IT TAUGHT ME ABOUT FAILURE

by Dez Fontaine Tue at 7:00 AM

I landed my first kickflip when I was twenty-four years old. Not sixteen. Not eighteen. Twenty-four.

by Dez Fontaine Mon at 12:30 PM

I had this moment last Tuesday waiting for the light to change at Fifth and Market, surrounded by like thirty other people all looking at their phones, and it hit me different.
