A massive hole has been left in the world of skateboarding. Marc Johnson was an inspiration to anyone who ever saw him skate, and he was probably your favorite skater's favorite skater. RIP to a true legend of the sport, we're all feeling this one today. Without him modern street skating wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today. Thanks for everything you did for us, Marc. Rip in peace 🛹🕊️

First of all, happy Mother's Day to all the mamas!
Second, we have the winners of our best trick contest.
In third we have Joseph Hendrix with a fat half cab biggerspin.
Second place goes to our boy Dustin Murphy from GhettoBird with a buttery blunt front shove to fakie.
Bringing it home is Ryan Clary getting tech with a backside noseslide shove it to noseslide.
Thank you to everyone who submitted a clip, we can't wait to get more of these going in the future. We're ready to break into the KC skate scene and beyond.

Had fun cooking this one up for Counter Clockwise! More old school customs, please! Tap in with them for some sweet sounds spanning several generations of alternative music.
