The 2019 National Skateboard Championships

This past weekend, the California Skateparks training facility in Vista served as the first stop of the 2020 Olympics qualifying season (otherwise known as the U.S.A. Skateboarding Toyota 2019 National Championships). We were there to capture all the action: the Men's Street and Park Finals; the Women's Street and Park Finals; and the Mixed Gender and Discipline Adaptive Street Finals. With the historic Tokyo 2020 Games just around the corner, EVERYBODY was going off! Andrew Cannon and Chris Pastras guide you through the events in the video above.

The etnies (ger)MANIC Tour

This past summer the etnies team traveled to Europe, enjoying the warm weather and long days of skating until the sun finally set around 10pm. With Stuttgart, Munich and Innsbruck as the main destinations, the team took in the relaxed culture, took advantage of the endless street spots, stacked clips from morning till night, then ended their days at the Beer Gardens.

The Germanic Tour had it all. Hanging in local shops, ripping demos and local spots, and meeting great people along the way. Huge thanks to Titus, Blue Tomato, and X Double skate shop for the love.

Riders: Chris Joslin, Trevor McClung, Matt Berger, Barney Page Nassim Lachhab, Thomas Eckert, Jiri Bulin

Chris Joslin: BEING | X Games Minneapolis 2019

To avoid the encroaching gang life surrounding Hawaiian Gardens, California, Chris Joslin’s grandmother introduced the young skater to El Dorado, the nearby skatepark in Long Beach. There, even at a young age, Joslin avoided the transitions, preferring to jump over entire pyramids straight to flat.

This tendency sparked something in the young skater, and by his teenage years, Chris Joslin was traveling throughout Southern California in search of huge stair sets and setups to jump down. Eventually, word spread of Joslin’s exploits, and he was invited to join the esteemed Plan B Skateboards team and film for their 2014 video “True.”

His part shocked the world of skateboarding, and from there, things went from zero to one hundred pretty fast for Joslin. More video parts followed, more sponsorships followed, and he turned pro a short time later. But along the way, Chris Joslin had to check himself.

“We both knew we were drinking too much,” says teammate Ryan Sheckler. Luckily, Joslin recognized his issue and and corrected his path.

Now a committed family man, Chris Joslin hasn’t lost his focus or ability to progress. This is Being Chris Joslin.
