Junction City Roller Dolls: Back to School Double Header 08.24
The second half started getting down and vicious in a very fast way. Both teams seemed to get a second wind and it showed. Jammers were pushing themselves to break the pack first, blockers were throwing hip checks and pulling great defensive plays and at times it was all I could do to keep up. … read more

Skate Photo Feature: Danny Souk
It had been five years since I shot a photo with Danny Souk. Thanks to the miracle of Instagram, I was able to see that he was skating Downtown by himself at the same time I was.

In celebration of not making an octogenarian your prey, the 14th annual Summer of Death Presented by Scion had its first contest of the year on Saturday, July 20, paired with the Urban Arts Festival. … read more
Cairo Foster: Keeping it Fun
With a couple of decades of skateboarding under his belt, Etnies’ Cairo Foster is a guy who will indefinitely go down as one of the best and most consistent in the sport. Going from a technical skateboarder to a burly speed hound who will jump down anything, Foster has put in some serious work over the years, and has no intention of slowing down. … read more

Using a good dual offense and defense strategy, applying the “hit it and quit it” tactic, and taking advantage of every power jam, the Trainwrecks’ lead over Colorado kept increasing. … read more
