Shout out skate community in Philadelphia. Skating is intimidating when you’re starting and we’re out to make it enjoyable for everyone, and be there for those who may be nervous at first. The skate community in Philly is just love for the most part. We’ve gotten nothing but good vibes from people and it’s really all just thanks to everyone we surround ourselves with all the time. We love Philly!
Nancy Pham Schickman was a skater before she became a mom, and admits to some FOMO watching her friends’ progress because for her, skating, or at least gnarly skating, has taken a backseat. “Those days of hucking myself down a set of stairs are on hold until my son is a bit older – or at least until I’m done breastfeeding.” For now, she tries to incorporate skating into as many of her baby’s activities as possible and is happy just to get to push around for half an hour for fun and selfcare.
Shanae Collins. Every crowd’s favorite, king of the Queen T-shirt, master guitar riffer and much, much more. OJs had a wheely fun day rolling around with the big SHEEZ to a few of her Melbourne go-tos. Check it out as they navigate espresso foam, parking fees, and mangle coping at the St. Kilda skatepark and shred around a couple rad COVID-era DIYs. This is juice worth the squeeze.
From beginner to heavies, everyone rolled through to rip around and hang out. It was chill & fun. A mask-less breath of fresh air, and we needed it. Big thanks to everyone involved and HUGE thanks to Olga Aguilar for documenting the occasion!
The weather report was sketchy but in the end, the clouds parted making way for a super sweet skate clinic featuring legendary shredders, ambitious beginners and a whole lot of great people behind the scene working for the future of non-trad skateboarding.

Mental health is the ultimate foundation. During times of depression and anxiety, it’s much harder- often impossible- to build & maintain a positive, productive life. Without a solid base, chances are your house will eventually fall down. But it is possible to go in there and add some braces and support beams. Jack that puppy up and stabilize!
Time to do the Dew! Lots of opportunities to get in on the action in Des Moines, from the comfort of your own home!! Schedules are subject to change and will be updated.
The cool people from Board of Missoula’s “Girls on Shred” organization are hosting a female/non-binary skate clinic at the super rad Coal Pad DIY in Glacier Washington on June 12th from 11am-4pm. Don’t miss this!!
