Quim Cardona’s 47th Birthday at The Brooklyn Banks – Clearly Faded
This weekend the Clearly Faded crew got to celebrate the 47th birthday of a true East Coast legend—Quim Cardona. The Cardona brothers helped write the history of the Brooklyn Banks in the early 90s, bringing style, finesse, and energy that shaped generations of skaters in New York City and beyond.
We don’t wait until our legends are gone to honor them—we give them their flowers while they’re here, and Quim earned his.
The celebration was real: Jeremiah came up from Atlantic City, Chris Landry pulled through, Clearly Faded captain Jay Klotz was in the mix, Eli repped from Staten Island, and TJ from Philly—better known as Old Dirty Bastard in Hulu’s Wu-Tang series, our brother TJ Atoms—joined the session.
Moments like this are why we do what we do. Skateboarding isn’t just about tricks, it’s about culture, community, and honoring those who paved the way.
To keep that energy alive, our new Clearly Faded skateboards are officially available in 8.25 and 8.5—built for the streets, built for the culture, and built to keep this legacy rolling. Grab yours now on the website and ride with us

The Platfrm – First Person: Chris Joslin Leaves His Mark at the 2025 Rockstar Energy Open
Go back to Portland, Oregon, and Chris Joslin’s battle to put it down at the 2025 Rockstar Energy Open. “I used to compete because I’m a competitive person, but now I compete because I’ve got a family to feed.” Joslin’s dedication and focus are clear at every single event. Years of experience have earned him his elite bag of tricks. His headspace and how he handles himself in moments of pressure are other skills that only time can teach.
Chris failed to make the cut for the Men’s Street Finals, but he didn’t let it define his weekend. “It sure is important to come back from your setbacks… for me, I’ve got a reason to keep going. I’ve got a family.” This episode of First Person: Chris Joslin follows him through the weekend, right up to the moment he won the Cash for Tricks Best Trick Jam to leave his mark on the event. “The fans saved my life.”

First Person: Ivan Monteiro Brazil’s Pro Returns to the U.S. – The Platfrm
It’s been a long time coming for São Paulo, Brazil’s Ivan Monteiro. Looking as clean and controlled as ever on the board, Ivan has been having an incredible year—he turned pro in April for Shorty’s, their first new pro in two decades. Ivan left his home country in 2017 to pursue skateboarding, but it wasn’t until last year that he returned to skate in a contest. For the past six years, he hasn’t competed in any contests in the United States, either.
By winning Week 7 of the 2025 RSEO VQS, Ivan ultimately earned an invite to compete in Portland at the main event. After skating through three rounds of competition, he eventually finished 3rd in the Street Final. From the VQS to the podium in Portland, in this episode of First Person Ivan talks us through all of that and more of his still unfolding story.
