One Day’s Work: Wyatt Hammond Hammers | Spot to Spot – The PLATFRM

The PLATFRM linked up with Wyatt Hammond to sample a daily dose of his skating and watch spots gets destroyed in the process. He may be 12 years old, but he has the moves of a grown man—and, in a way, the demeanor of one, too. You won’t see Wyatt get too worked up while skating, but you can guarantee he puts in work on every spot he comes across.

After popping things off at the etnies skatepark that raised him, they hit the streets and made their way to a 12-stair handrail at Wyatt’s old elementary school (he graduated earlier this year). That wasn’t the only spot they hit, either. The homie has a full day planned for us. Wyatt takes us Spot to Spot to drop a few of his staple Hammond hammers on us, with cameo clips and commentary from Dominick Walker in the streets.

Pawnshop: Built on Family and Skateboarding | CORE – The PLATFRM

For as long as Donovon Piscopo can remember, he and his father, Anthony, have been skateboarding. Raised in Covina, California, Donovon grew up in a scene that wasn’t started by his father but has been 100% cultivated by him.

Their family business, Pawnshop, has been around for 16 years, but it wasn’t the first skate shop in town. In fact, Anthony worked at the shop under a different name in the late ‘80s to early ‘90s, during the time Donovon was born. Anthony remembers that first shop as a sort of “housing project,” serving as a much-needed positive place for kids in the community — including himself. Today, Pawnshop serves Covina in that same way.

“My entire skate career is because of Anthony and Donovon,” says John Fitzgerald, reflecting on the efforts the Piscopos made to help him and so many others.

Donovon hopes to one day take over Pawnshop from his father and eventually pass it on to his daughter. One thing is for sure: They don’t do this for the money.

“It was built on my dad’s faith and love of skating.”
