levi's® skateboarding!!!

skateboarding in puerto peñasco, mexico.

our fall 2016 campaign shoot took place in puerto peñasco, mexico. in this 3-minute documentary, we follow a small, but energized community of skateboarders and help them build a new skate park.

...

community service - puerto peñasco, mexico.

the levi's® skateboarding crew broke ground at puerto peñasco's newest park, cutting the ribbon with the city’s mayor in march, 2016. they found the time to also build several new diy obstacles at the existing park and also hit the streets, encountering a handful of rad spots with the local skaters.

chirp; a collection of illustrations from the skateboard mag!

this is the last week of "chirping in" kickstarter project. please show your support by pledging! thanks! =)

my name is andy jenkins and i'm an artist in the skateboarding industry. as an illustrator, i'm mostly known for a cult-classic comic i wrote and drew in the early '90s called "wrench pilot" (under the moniker of mel bend) and the many skateboard graphics i've created since the mid 80's.

this particular project is a collection of the illustrations i've done for the skateboard mag over the last 7 years or so — most of them created for a particular column in the magazine called "chirping in" where the mag's readers answer particular questions related to skateboarding.

my kickstarter plan is to create a high-quality litho-printed publication which features the best of the 100 or so "chirping in" drawings. the project is a 7" x 7", perfect bound, full-color book. the page count is yet to be determined — i estimate it will be approximately 88 pages + the covers. the goal is to produce 500 copies of the book, 100 of which will be signed and numbered, hard-bound editions. i will also be offering stickers, pins and prints as rewards for pledging.

please follow the link to my flickr set that's devoted to a few of my chirp illustrations for examples, here!

hope you dig this project enough to contribute! i'd love to see these books get into your hands!

risks and challenges.

the challenge of this project is getting the layout to press and getting it printed by october this year. with the monetary support of you all, i can make this happen and send out the packages to all the supporters by november of 2014 — just in time for the holidays! i have good experience with the publishing business through "bend press" and so the process of making this happen is relatively easy and fun for me. meeting the deadline for publication will not be a problem at all.

rat poison: sebo walker.

sebo walker's part in sk8rats' new video, rat poison, has everything you could ask for - techy ledge lines, successful rail biz, a solid manual game and even a banger on the santa monica triple set. and with sebo's signature style tying it all together, we're left with an amazing video part.

be sure to purchase the full-length version of rat poison, here.

click on the image above to view the ba.ku x osaka daggers video in a new tab.

apparently there aren't that many jersey barriers in japan, but the barrier kult and osaka daggers still managed to skate the rawest, steepest, most horrendous spots they could find and came back with this sick edit.

the rosa parks boys!

the spirit of skateboarding is alive and well in detroit, michigan, thanks largely to the hard work and creativity of the rosa parks boys. levi's® skateboarding got behind their most recent project, which we were lucky enough to be a part of and document. you're going to want to build something of your own after you hear their story and see what they were able to accomplish.

world record wallie contest!

wallie world cup 2012.

for multiple days outside the bright trade show in berlin, pontus alv and lennie burmeister could be seen making transitions for the most unique contest this year. the concept was simple wallie over a barrier and you become the champion of the world. the mc, lev tanju of palace skateboards, was complete comedy. everyone had three tries to get over the barrier and when those were used up and more attempts were needed, the kind hearted, lev facilitated with a nice cold one. for some the strength of german beer didn't help them get over but for others the combination of light feet and alcohol made the task easy to accomplish.

starring pontus alv, dennis busenitz, jason adams, dennis laas, guy with energy drink hat, curly haired kid, white shirt, the australian and many others who i couldn't give nicknames too.
