Welcome to the end of the work week and the unveiling of another Weekly Wrap-up hosting all of the top notch skate happening that went down these previous seven days. No longer do you have to toil over the trying task of tracking multiple URL addresses all through the world of virtual reality in an effort to get your stoke fix. We did the searching so that you could simply reap the radical reward of a good, balanced serving of pure skateboarding. This wrap up is not from concentrate and is certified gnar-ganic with absoluely no artifical fillers or sweeteners. Lets get to it!
History was literally made this week by Andrew Andras who set a new recored in the world of long distance pushing. Check out the full story and see what all this guy was able to accomplish all after clocking out of his day job.
Making Florida proud, Lake Skateboarders just released a few clips of local Brucer Killian Horne slaying ‘crete throughout the Sunshine State that will make you want to vacation down south for more reasons than just their beaches.
Always keeping their media on the funky and creative side, the fellows over at O-Tang just dropped a new video that follows this rubric to a T while featuring some marquee members of their team after hours in an abandoned warehouse.
Another small step towards legitimacy with the non-skateboarding community was made when Chanel made this new fragrance advertisement featuring some actually really good ripping. Who knows, maybe this is the smell that can mask what a week in a skate van can do to you…
The Skate Family would like to introduce its newest member, Prism Skate Co. to its ranks! This board company is looking to provide high quality skateboards that will allow skateboarders to continue to push our art to the next level. Prism has teamed up with Caliber Truck Co. and will be putting out cruisers, longboards, and even downhill models within the end of the year.

Event News:
We all love mobbing down hills, the longer the better! We also all dread the thought of the walk back up to the take off zone which lies all the way back up the hill. To address this issue, an event has been organized by Skate Sun Peak that will allow you to sesh a track with 17 corners, most of which you must slide, with a ski lift back to the top! The event is set to go down June 11-12th and registration is open so don’t allow your self to miss out on this unique opportunity that doesn’t show its face often.

Industry/Rider News:
A well earned pro model was awarded to Kebbek Skateboards team rider Emma Diagle and is now avaliable anywhere quality skate products are sold. The board is a spin off on the Switchback, Emma’s favorite model in the Kebbek lineup until her own board was introduced into production, which features multiple wheelbase options and a comfortable radial drop. The board comes in two different graphics, both paying homage to the rider and designer Emma who went to meticulous lengths on every detail of this sled. They say seeing is believing and we believe you will be stoked on this sled the very moment you hop on board so why not go ahead and snag one for your self, eh?

An interesting take on skating being recently voted into the 2020 lineup of “sports” to be included in the running of the Tokyo based Olympic games was presented in our recent article Olympic Games 2020: Skateboarding is a Sport.
Our home girl Rachel “Bagels” Bruskoff just published her latest “That’s What She Said” article in which she tackles the issue of innovation within skateboarding and how to experience self exploration through various riding set ups.
