Meet Abe Bethel, one of the best curb skaters in the world – JENKEM

February 13, 2023 No Comments

JENKEM first learned about Abe when we heard The Nine Club hosts, Ronnie Creager, and Jamie Owens all praising his curb skating skills. Jamie even went as far as calling Abe “the greatest curb skater of all time,” which was a claim Jenkem had to look into. It turns out Abe is truly a master of the slappy and had a part in last year’s curb heavy ((THEVIDEO)), which is a great showing of what is possible when you have a rub brick, a shit ton of wax, and a little determination.

Abe has since moved to Miami, opened Greater Skate Shop, and received even more praise for his curb dancing abilities. To get a better idea of his skating, Jenkem took a quick trip to Miami to see how he is settling and talked to a few curb-loving pros about his influence.

Skating dirt, grass, and rocks with Donnie Mortensen – JENKEM

November 15, 2022 No Comments

Donnie Mortensen, a skater from Colorado turned dirt mounds and grassy hills into spots just by throwing huge tires on his regular board. Not only are some of the tricks pretty mindblowing in their own right, but it also captures one of the most important aspects of skateboarding: going out with your friends and doing the dumbest things possible. – JENKEM

Scoping out Roosevelt Island with Citi Bike Boyz – JENKEM

November 9, 2022 No Comments

JENKEM hit up head Citi Bike Boy Jerome Peel to see if he’d be up for the challenge of hitting the Roosevelt Island monument dedicated to FDR. Luckily, they were able to dupe security, get the clip, and walk away without being detained this time around. Jerome waltzed in and made it look ridiculously easy.

October 31, 2022 No Comments

JENKEM stopped by Tenant’s 3rd anniversary party in Brooklyn. Even though there was free beer and plumes of weed smoke, the crowd that they thought would be “too cool” to answer questions gave them some of the most thoughtful responses we’ve gotten yet.

Junnosuke Hasegawa for Lesque Skateboards – JENKEM

October 27, 2022 No Comments

Junnosuke has both the style and ability to make Street League-level skating look entertaining. It’s rare someone other than Yuto Horigome can do that for us, so JENKEM thought they’d showcase Junnosuke’s part just in case he blows up and becomes the next Japanese skateboarding superstar.

Ground Glass: Austyn Gillette – JENKEM

October 24, 2022 No Comments

Yes, we are well aware that Austyn has already filmed in 16mm a lot in the past, but JENKEM didn’t care. His flair and spot selection lend themselves extremely well to the saturated textures of film, so we’re not complaining here. Settle in and get ready to watch some ultra-crispy skating caught on technology invented in 1923, because we know you won’t be disappointed.

October 20, 2022 No Comments

Shaun is a jolly skater from the UK. JENKEM was only able to film with him for an hour or two but decided to throw it together into a mini bite-sized segment anyway to put people onto his heartwarming personality and playful skating. Hopefully JENKEM will visit him again soon and get a full Hanging Out With on our next try.
