  As far as the skateboarding world is concerned, Tyshawn Jones has quickly turned into one of those dudes who can do no wrong—on and off the board. No argument! He's unarguably one of the greatest skateboarders on the planet right now, and his cool, calm demeanor only adds to his allure. But when he's not blowing our minds with insane IG clips (that could've—or still could—all easily been enders for the most well-respected pros) or simply handling biz in the streets day aft

• Justin Strubing Shares How To Grip the Perfect Board in Pepper Grip's New 'Surface Files'

  16-05-2024 21:25 via skateboarding.com
  
  On and off the board, Justin Strubing has always been one of those dudes who simply does things his own way. The spots he skates, the tricks he takes to them... it's always been done with style and technique. So it's really no wonder that he takes the same approach to gripping his board. He recently stopped by the Mesa Distribution HQ—home of Pepper Grip—and took us through his personal process of gripping his new sled.

• Keen Ramps Shares 5 Crucial DIY Ramp Mistakes Every Builder Should Avoid

  15-05-2024 18:06 via skateboarding.com
  
  I've seen (and skated) some pretty debatable ramps over the years, but I will admit that most of the time, they're still super fun. That said, there's nothing quite like a perfect mini ramp, for instance—the coping sits nicely, the transition is perfect, the surface is smooth... the list goes on. If you've ever thought about building a ramp yourself but weren't sure where to start, you're in luck. The pros over at Keen Ramps recently shared a video revealing five crucial (yet oddly co

• Where Has Taylor Smith Been? New Clips Surface Along With Commentary From T-Spliff

  09-05-2024 16:45 via skateboarding.com
  
  At one time, Taylor Smith (aka T-Spliff) was a household name just like Riley Hawk and Rowan Zorilla—two of the many respected pros he grew up skating with—but at one point, he sort of disappeared for a while. With that much natural talent, I've always assumed that Taylor could leave his board in the closet for years and still pick up right where he left off. And although that's not technically the case, he did unfortunately lose his sponsors a few years back, forcing him to rev
