Maurio McCoy True Grit: From humble beginnings to the world stage – Santa Cruz
From humble beginnings all the way to the world stage, this True Grit features Maurio McCoy. Last year we made our way out to the east coast to spend time with Maurio and his family in his hometown of Reading Pennsylvania.
Located about half way between Philadephia and Harrisburg, the states capital, Reading is the site of the now defunct Reading Railroad, the same one that you may have purchased in your most recent game of Monopoly. Over the course of the cities history it has seen good days and bad but there I no question that to make it out it takes perseverance. To learn more about his roots, drive and how he became the incredible skater and person he is today check out this True Grit.

Nassim Lachhab for etnies Shredding Prague
Whilst checking out the Mystic Cup event at the start of July – and as is always the way with Prague – you can’t go there without spending some time at Stalin Square. The spot most likely needs no introduction. It goes back at least as far as the 25 years the Mystic Cup has been around and is one of the very best bust-free plaza spots in the world. For a ledge gremlin like Nassim, this place is pure bliss.
As the skatepark contest session began to wind down, etnies head up the hills as the heat from the sun began to mellow to hang with locals and other traveling crews.

There are over 1.2b people living in Africa at the moment. With skateboarding reaching the ends of the earth, from northern Russia to the Maldives, Uruguay to the Galapagos Islands, it only makes sense that, with such a large population, Africa should boast some respectable skate scenes as well, right?
