Above the Crowds: Kevin Fedderson
Everyone knows that a lot of the younger skateboarders today are progressing at a level beyond comprehension, and that’s exactly what drew me to Kevin Fedderson in the first place.

Afterwards, I stayed in contact and have come to know him from filming and jumping around town with him at bars and life in general. … read more

Before the fancy corporate sponsorships and all the jive that may come as we progress in this art, there was a simple reason (mentioned above) that we picked up this wonderful time-waster known as a skateboard. Keaton McDonald is one person out there who embodies this mentality. … read more
