Shop Talk at Vans Space 198 – JENKEM
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 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.
