“For our latest “Parts” episode, we broke the mold a bit and hit up J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. to give us some of his favorites. Obviously, J is no pro skater or even a big skate rat, but he’s played an important role in skate video history through his affiliations with Alien Workshop and skaters like Neil Blender.” – Jenkem

In 1998, Justin Girardi and Mad Circle released “5ive Flavors,” a beautiful video of classy street skating in San Francisco and New York City. Jenkem was able to get the whole team back together along with photographer Mike Blabac for a video call in which the guys reconnect, reminisce, and rewatch the parts through the long lens of over two decades past. All of these pioneers have continued to be involved in skateboarding in the 23 years since “5ive Flavors” was released, working with or owning various companies including Supreme, Adidas, Polar, Maxallure, etc. This condensed edit of their conversation captures a bit of what it was like for them to grow up together skating in a golden era.
