If you haven’t heard about what a smash hit our custom instagram stories .gif stickers were at WOFX you must have been hiding under a rock, or making out with one (no judgement.) Word spread fast and before we knew it, we were juggling requests from big brands wanting to trick out their stories too. It dawned on us… maybe giving the world .GIFs can help us launch baby BIGFOOT!
Wheels of Fortune is a fucking juggernaut. I started going to this event 10 years ago, when it was a small gathering. Just the homies basically; a great excuse to get together, shred, see old friends and test your fate in Seattle’s fucked up traffic.
The stakes are high this year, as teams battle it out to get the #1 edit, voted on at Thrasher.com! The challenges are kept top secret until they are revealed at 11am sharp at Lower Woodland Park in Seattle. Bodies will be put on the line, egos will be crushed, and shame will have no hold on the team that battles their way to the top. Don’t miss this one fool!
I think the film has a way bigger message than the average skate film, one that everyone can learn something from. I think it’s incredibly inspiring and shows people that no matter what it is that you love to do, you can always “quit your day job” and make your passion your profession.

A great moment was when last year’s champ Nicole Hause rolled in, fashionably late to the party because she didn’t have to qualify. She was rocking rad checkered party pants that were a huge hit, and was just blasting gigantic airs. Fucking classy shit. She was doing just what last year’s champ should; showcasing her skill for the crowd. Not necessarily skating to win but to dazzle, and dazzle she did.
As skateboarding makes its historical debut in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, we are calling for NBC Sports to hire skateboarding legend Alex White to provide commentary for the women’s broadcasts. As skateboarders, we believe that nobody is more well-equipped and deserving of this important role. Alex is a ripping skater who entered the scene at early age when female skateboarders were scarce. In following years, she proved herself as a leader in making the sport more accessible to girls and women worldwide. She has the talent, insider knowledge and perfect timing to reflect our sport in the greatest, most authentic way possible as it debuts on the world stage.
Secret to being a good host: In my opinion, the secret to being a good host is being present, genuine, welcoming and aware of the diversity in whatever event is being held. Meaning diversity in skill level, age, and gender making everyone feel like they are apart of a community equally. Oh…and a good host has to bring that HYPE! ?
We only exchanged a few words but I remembered her well because she stood out; so small, pretty and kind- and SO gnarly. If I wasn’t watching her tear the skatepark to shreds, it was easy to picture her playing third chair clarinet in high school band. Instead of skating the course the “traditional” way at Slam, at one point I remember her ollieing off the deck of one of the ramps, like 8 feet to flat. I had never seen an American Girl Doll skate like that!
