Joey Sinko is one of skateboarding’s most unique filmmakers. He is the driving force behind Jenkem’s Ode series and more recently has supported Jim Greco on a handful of experimental skate films as his camera man / cinematographer. He draws from skate classics of the early 2000s, but there is also some influence that can be felt from classic films by the likes of Les Blank and Stanley Kubrick, just to name a few.
JENKEM – Parts with Brighton Zeuner
Welcome to the latest episode of Jenkem’s series where we take a step back and talk about the true foundation of skateboarding. You guessed it; it’s video parts. In Jenkem’s latest episode, they took a shot in the dark and asked Brighton Zeuner, the Frog sponsored 16-year-old contest skater what parts she’s watching.
PREMIERE: Film Trucks “Flamant Rose” – JENKEM
Need a break from America? Enjoy “Flamant Rose” – a tour video that looks more like a vacation than a skate trip. If you’re unfamiliar with Film Trucks, they are a upstart brand out of France that’s trying to compete with the goliaths of the industry. Jenkem has always been a fan of the underdog and running a European based indie truck brand is definitely an uphill battle. Featuring Fred Psantos, Efrem Sapienza, Victor Cascarigny, Enzo Morel, Théo Moga, Bastien Marlin, Jérémie Daclin and guest Louis Bars.
PREMIERE: Brazil’s Street Survivors Vol. 3 – JENKEM
JENKEM gave you all a close look at São Paulo’s CPTMAFIA as they mobbed through the city’s streets 18 heads deep. Today, we have a new edit featuring some of the Mafia, as well as members from affiliate crew ZNS. It’s the latest entry in the Street Survivor series by filmer Gabriel Romero, highlighting the marriage of the two crews.

JENKEM – The History of Etnies “High 5” Video
A deep dive into an important and underrated classic: Etnies’ High 5 from 1995. To give the video it’s proper shine, JENKEM gave video essay extraordinaire Alex Coles a ring to get him to talk to some people behind the project. Together they break it down and see where 25 years of legacy puts this video today. Video by: Alex Coles
JENKEM – Parts w/ Arin
In JENKEM’s latest episode they reached out to Arin, to see what she was, and is currently, watching. Arin is a relatively new face to the larger skate world, so use this as a guide to get a feel for her skating before she drops her highly-anticipated first part.
JENKEM – The Sit Down Ep. 2
The boys are finally back with episode two of The Sit Down. You may remember the first episode featuring Carpet Co. Jenkem dropped way back in April 2020. This time around, Tommy and Jason ditched the interviews and stuck to the skits bringing you seven solid minutes of skate buffoonery. They’re still out there taking light jabs at your favorite skaters and exposing skating’s most tired tropes, so hopefully everyone gets a good laugh out of it.
PREMIERE – Noah Fuzi’s “Common Courtesy” Part
Noah is what some of y’all would typically call an “ATV,” since he’s comfortable throwing down big transition tricks just as much as he is doing tricks at crusty street spots, and can take a slam like a champ. He’s also a low-key contest skater and a bit of an actor, so that told us there’s a bit more than meets the eye when it comes to this guy. Guess not all Australians are all about shotgunning beers and peeing into their own mouths. – JENKEM
JENKEM – Hanging Out With… Sunny Suljic
If you’re like JENKEM, you first saw Sunny when the trailers for Mid90s dropped. His performance in the film was undeniably good, regardless of how you felt about the movie overall, and the role turned him into a bit of an overnight celeb. He got a lot of attention from kids who were fans of the movie, but it also put him in the spotlight as an up-and-coming skater with sponsors like Illegal Civ and Adidas.
In JENKEM’s newest Hanging Out With, they caught up with the 15-year-old and visited a psychic to see what’s projected to be next in line for him.
JENKEM – Messing around at Yardsale’s London HQ
Although it’s a quickie, the Yardsale crew filmed this video on a random night while they were hanging out at their offices, making a ruckus, getting some food, and skating some makeshift ramps, presumably while “properly pissed mate.” This video may not be as in-depth as the one of Jenkem’s visit to the Pass~Port offices in Sydney was, but it still offers some insight into the overall spirit of the brand and where they actually come from. Featuring Jake Church, Curtis Pearl, Dan Kreitem, Zak Mayell, Rafski and Josh Church.
JENKEM – Exploring Some of Hong Kong’s Crustiest Spots
What’s it like skating Hong Kong? Our friends Ollie Rodgers and Mikey Silva tried to hit some lesser known spots and show you the unique terrain that Hong Kong has to offer.
