Caption : NYC, 1965: skateboarding was already bringing people together for collective joy. The first dude is the coolest, ever. I would love to identify him just to find out how he adopted a perfect stance his first time out… and on his lunch break? Last pic is the legendary @pattimcgee, unintentionally paving the way for future generations of women to become pro skaters. 📷: Bill Eppridge / Life Magazine

Caption : My missing photo with Tupac: I attended the American Music Awards in 1991 because my sister was there performing with Michael Bolton. While backstage, I saw Tupac standing alone and I recognized him from Digital Underground (go listen to “Same Song” for context). His first album had not dropped yet, and nobody else seemed to notice him. I took a picture of him and [Riley’s mom] Cindy, and I thought she took one of him and me. This was in the era of point-and-shoot film cameras so results were unreliable. Unfortunately I never found the photo once the roll was developed. But thanks to modern technology and maestro digital artist @_vemix_ , the image has materialized. And for the record: he was effusive and gracious during our brief encounter, more so than anyone else we met or bothered for pictures that night. Edit: this might have been 1994 based on the AMA nominees that year. I’m so old that specific years get fuzzy. But the story remains the same.

Caption : TFW when you’re old AF and you just filmed your ender clip for your final skate video after breaking your leg last year. We’ve all been there, right? 🎥: @_aliminator (full video coming this month) To those saying “we’ve heard you say that before:” I’ve done some tricks for the last time but not a final video. I will continue to skate but I’m winding down my efforts to try new (risky) stuff. My mortality is surfacing and I have accepted my comfort zone. I am not quitting, but I’ll mostly be “returning to the classics” from here on out. Thanks for being remotely interested in this attempt at a graceful exit.

Caption : When I first saw news of a skatepark in Uganda, I was inspired to visit and possibly show skaters there some techniques to learning new tricks. But as the scene there continues to grow, I am now more inspired to visit but with a different directive: to learn some techniques from locals like Calvin, shown here learning halfcab kickflip to boardslide. Thanks to @ugandaskateboardsociety for the unwavering dedication to skateboarding and congrats to them on the recent Olympic representation in Rome. I recommend following their progress and giving support if you have the means. 🇺🇬🛹

Caption : Yesterday I had the privilege of skating Dodge Skatepark, an area that my dad helped to design nearly 35 years ago. It remained in its original form up until November of last year, after locals rallied the city council and raised funds for resurfacing and slight upgrades. It was inspiring to hear from skaters that grew up here, as the park became their gathering place and, in many ways, their salvation from life’s hardships. It wasn’t the best or most modern design but it served a purpose far beyond a training grounds or competitive landscape. The skaters of Columbus and surrounding areas felt connected to this space in a way that is hard to explain unless you’ve been lucky enough to have a place like it. It was kinked and crusty and beloved for its uniquely flawed design. And now it’s smooth with proper coping, but has kept its shape and raw charm. In some ways, it is the only [literal] concrete legacy of my father’s impact on skateboarding; he knew us skaters as creative misfits that just needed a sense of community to thrive into our adult lives. Thanks to Donny @smellycurb for meeting me on this frigid morning and giving me first-hand insight to the rich history of this sacred place. And thanks to my lifelong skate friend & OG skatepark advocate @mikivuckovich for taking these pics. It was my pleasure to help revitalize the park and roll around in my dad’s honor. He would have been proudly stoic but stoked to see it.

It wasn’t the best or most modern design but it served a purpose far beyond a training grounds or competitive landscape. The skaters of Columbus and surrounding areas felt connected to this space in a way that is hard to explain unless you’ve been lucky enough to have a place like it. It was kinked and crusty and beloved for its uniquely flawed design. And now it’s smooth with proper coping, but has kept its shape and raw charm. In some ways, it is the only [literal] concrete legacy of my father’s impact on skateboarding; he knew us skaters as creative misfits that just needed a sense of community to thrive into our adult lives. Thanks to Donny @smellycurb for meeting me on this frigid morning and giving me first-hand insight to the rich history of this sacred place. And thanks to my lifelong skate friend & OG skatepark advocate @mikivuckovich for taking these pics. It was my pleasure to help revitalize the park and roll around in my dad’s honor. He would have been proudly stoic but stoked to see it.

Caption : Riley and I went to @bioxcellerator in Colombia to get treatments for [his] joints and [my] neck, which have all suffered consistent trauma through the years. I have a few close friends that made incredible progress with their lingering injuries after visits to the clinic so I’m excited for the results. But first was a skatepark tour with local legend @davidgonzalez. One kid referred to him as “DaVincio” while we were skating and I couldn’t agree more… he even learned my trick in 3 tries 🍝🤠 (Riley couldn’t join us because of a recent shoulder surgery). 🇨🇴🛹 🎥: @grampagram / @palomoog

Caption : Congratulations to @reese__nelson on her silver medal yesterday at @xgames. She has proven herself to be an innovator beyond her years, paving the way for a new generation of vert skaters. To put this in perspective: Reese is 10 – the age I started skating – and has already invented tricks that we didn’t know were possible. And it is an honor to have her riding @birdhouseskateboards while she creates a future that we only dreamed of.

Caption : In case you saw the incredible vert finals tonight at @xgames where Jimmy Wilkins took first with this otherworldly run: my apologies to Alex Perelson for mistakenly identifying Jimmy’s last trick (tailgrab Mackenzie) as an NBD. Here is Alex doing that trick a while back for his video part that I had somehow forgotten about (shown at end here). Thanks to @vurtclub for catching my error. So Jimmy’s was the first ever done in competition. Still an insane trick… and I would have had the same reaction. Carry on.

Caption : After-buzzer slammer from yesterday’s best trick event: My plan was to do an invert on the surfboard then move on to this trick (which I’ve only made once, check my stories): nollie 3 shuv blunt to fakie. But I couldn’t get consistent setup airs for the invert so I ran out of attempts. Not that it would have changed anything; I was just happy to be in the mix… and happy to be sliding on my back, apparently. 🎥: @tweestopher

Caption : Back lip with some help from my little friend, 1995. Tried one on a different rail – sans kicker – not long after this and clipped it in the worst way. That’s about the time I realized I should focus more on vert if I want to enjoy skating much longer, even though ramps were scarce and very few cared about us padded dinosaurs. Tomorrow – nearly 30 years later – my final video will be released and it’s entirely on vert. Follow your passion; it’s worth the struggles and can give you a lifetime of joy. 📷: @atibaphoto Fun fact: I went to this high school in 8th grade and I was the ONLY skater among 1500 students

Caption : Thanks to everyone for the kind words about my final video “Tapes You Leave Behind.” The project was inspired by Stacy Peralta’s first video entitled “Skateboarding In The Eighties” in 1981 (before Bones Brigade Video Show). It featured Mike, Steve, Rodney and me, using this same [timeless] Ultravox song, from which the lyrics inspired the title. I asked the same crew, adding Lance and Tommy, to revisit some of their tricks in that video and BBVS since we’re all still actively skating 40+ years later. It has been my distinct honor to be associated with these legends through the decades, and it felt right to include them in my videographic swan song. I’ll still be here skating as much as possible; but no longer torturing myself mentally & physically for the sake of comprehensive video missions. You can watch the full edit on @thrashermag YouTube. Skate or die.

An incredible skater, father and skating advocate who has stood the test of time as he prepares to qualify for the 2024 Olympics. Thanks for always being in the right place at the right time… like this: our most complicated doubles routine ever, which we completed just weeks before I broke my leg last year. Keep ripping Andy! 🛹🎂🎉
