This year, to celebrate Go Skateboarding Day, JENKEM decided to skip the skating and instead headed over to Vans Space 198 in Brooklyn to bother their neighbors. The team had their doors open in celebration of the day, complete with a DJ spinning a bunch of Wu-Tang and a packed-out park. The locals we talked to in between spurts of rain had a lot to say about optimal skate video length, dream blunt rotations, and how to celebrate Go Skateboarding Day properly. Turns out there is no wrong way to celebrate – except maybe by sitting in the rain interviewing random people.
Evan Strong: Everything To Gain | Presented by Toyota USA
By the age of 17, Team Toyota athlete Evan Strong was a sponsored skateboarder on the rise, focusing on becoming a pro athlete. While growing up on the island of Maui, Evan’s life completely changed after a drunk driver struck him on his motorcycle, which caused the amputation of his left leg below the knee. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Evan used his gnawing need to skateboard again as motivation and reset his focus on new goals. Now, Evan only grows stronger and continues to push forward.
Follow Evan on his journey in a two-part series presented by Toyota USA.
