Transitioning from Pro Skating to Furniture Making with Rob Pluhowski – JENKEM

May 23, 2022 No Comments

Rob Pluhowski discovered his love for woodworking and started making furniture with the help of a friend right as he was deciding to back out of the skate industry. Through his dedication to craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, he has attracted a strong clientele of designers who custom order his stunning (and expensive) work for the elite.

We took the drive over to Jersey City to check out his studio, see how he works, and hear a little more about why he decided to honorably bow out from skating in pursuit of another passion. – JENKEM

For the last couple of years Japanese skateboarding has been getting a good amount of shine. Magenta skateboards was ahead of the curve and has been a part of the skate scene there for nearly a decade. Meet their newest recruit, Shogo Zama – He’s fast, calculated, and his pants are just the right amount of baggy. What more could you want? – JENKEM

JENKEM – Checking out the historic spots of Athens, Greece

April 28, 2022 No Comments

Spend the day checking out Athens, Greece a city known much more for its ancient history than its skate scene. But just because the world at large hasn’t seen many Athenian skate spots doesn’t mean there aren’t any to be found. Watch as we get a proper skate tour from Thanos Panou and Notis Aggelis of one of the most significant cities in human history. – JENKEM

JENKEM PREMIERE: Eli Williams & friends in “Overload”

April 22, 2022 No Comments

“Overload” doesn’t follow any of the current trends you see in most videos, i.e. there is no dramatic slow-mo zoom-ins or 16mm B-roll here. Instead, the video relies on fast raw skating and an editing style filled with left turns to make the final product. Enjoy Eli Williams part from the entire 2 hour spastic behemoth. – JENKEM

Welcome to another episode of Jenk TV! This time around Jenkem headed out to Los Angeles to meet up with Reggie, the brains behind Corporate Skateboards and his ragtag crew of riders.

JENKEM PREMIERE: Shawn Powers’ “SP Underground” Part

March 28, 2022 No Comments

Like a super villain waiting in the shadows, skateboarding’s favorite Polo wearing antagonist resurfaces with this low-key part. In between working on his brand, art, and filming for another Palace project, Shawn found the time to get out with filmer Noah Letcavage in the dead of winter to put together some tricks that pay homage to 90’s skateboarding. This is just an appetizer for what’s to come. – JENKEM

JENKEM – Parts with J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.

January 5, 2022 No Comments

“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

JENKEM – Ground Glass: Mark Suciu

December 13, 2021 No Comments

Videographer James Thomson spent a couple of days with Mark filming this 16mm edit for our “Ground Glass” series that ditches the one-upmanship and stair counting, and focuses back on just some of the bits that make Mark special. Don’t think of this as yet another part of his “SOTY run,” but rather as a victory lap, and a showing of Jenkem’s appreciation for one of the best skaters of our generation.
