New Mexico is at the south end of the Rocky Mountain range. Geologically, everything here was brought about by volcanic activity.

The idea behind the Road Agents article is a simple one: It is designed to showcase thriving scenes & regions from across the globe—straight from the mouth and lenses of the actual riders themselves. This first installment hails from Texas, the words are from my main man Chubbs, and the images are from a talented group of photographers from the Lone Star State. I’d like to thank all the Texans that helped put this together, and for sharing their killer skate scene with us all. Shredlove!
