The man behind San Diego skate shop Slappy’s Garage, Jason Carney has been a staple of the scene since the 80s. What has made it all possible? Skate shops. From his very first sponsor being a shop out of Chula Vista (later skating for teams like H-Street and Planet Earth) to opening his first shop out of Ramona in 2011 up to today with locations on 17th Street downtown and a second storefront in the Linda Vista neighborhood—Jason believes in the skate shop business. And he is doing his best to keep the proper skate shop vibes alive. “That’s my purpose, to enable other people to live out their dreams.”
“STEADFAST DIE LAST” FULL LENGTH VIDEO
A film about a group of friends from San Diego that all started skateboarding in the mid to late 80’s. We’ve all grown up now (👈 a description I use VERY loosely) and became construction workers, sales men, entrepreneurs, haberdashers, mail men, mechanics, tattoo artists, designers, husbands and fathers. But before we were any of those things, we were skateboarders. Cheers 🍻 to all the old timers who never put away their wooden toy. Thanks for watching! Featuring June Cate, Scott Lancour, Kien Lieu, Jason Carney, Mario Negos, Crispin Alhambra, Tim Hardy, Bert Custodio, Mike Alzona, Kyong Kim, Mikey Hottman, Alyasha Moore, David Mckinnie, Russ Pope, Heavy Metal Rich, Danny Wallace and Brisk.
