From Bristol, we secured the rental van and drove down to the Southern Coast to spend a couple days meandering around for spots.

We also had the privilege of connecting with Tommy from BACK&FORTH. A first-rate skateboard screenprinting operation tucked away in the English countryside. If you haven’t checked out his work, please hit the page and give him a follow to witness some old-school mastery.

We had high hopes of skating the whole time, but we ended up just kicking it at the beach and messing around. Some great memories from this leg of the trip.

Couldn’t have asked for a better start to the trip than the annual “Fun Day” with Gratitude Skateshop.

We are also quite honored to announce that Sapient is now up on the walls Gratitude Skateshop.

I first met Ben years ago while randomly passing through Bedminster for an afternoon, and he graciously gave me a copy of his DOGPISS MAGAZINE. I had just started Sapient, but was still in the early prototyping phase.

Fast forward a few years and here we are back in Bedminster with a stack of boards for Ben. Gratitude embodies everything that a skate shop should be, and we are so appreciative for the opportunity to work together.

It’s hard to beat the incredible world-wide friendships you make through skating. A sincere thank you to Ben and the whole Gratitude Skateshop crew for the hospitality. Till the next one! 🤝

🚨THIS SATURDAY!🚨

We are hyped to be teaming up with Sky High and nationaldiy for a BBQ and skate session at one of the sickest spots in Milwaukee!

The grill will be fired up, the speakers will be jumping, and there will be plenty of revs to be had 🔥🔥🔥

Similar to our Wilson Wednesdays, this event is not a contest. It’s an opportunity to bring our communities together for an afternoon of skating, good food, and kicking it together under the bridge!

Whether you are from Milwaukee, Chicago, or anywhere in between, we’d love to see you there.

All are welcome ❤️

Saturday, July 11th

CHICAGO SKATEBOARDING! 🖤⚒️🔥

We cannot thank you enough for showing out in numbers for the premiere of our first full-length, “Made in Chicago”.

It meant the world to be able to celebrate the video alongside such an amazing scene, and we hope everyone had a great time.

There were countless hands who made this event possible, but we would like to give a special thanks to DZ Records for facilitating the live sets that kept the night fired up from the get-go.

We were truly honored to have garbigecan, NightFreak, Edging, and zipgun_boogie to provide the revs all night long.

It is hard to find adequate wording to express our gratitude to everyone who came out and showed support. From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you.

The full video and new lineup of boards will be going live next Monday, June 29th.
