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