He’s known in the Phoenix, Arizona area for spreading joy through his love of skateboarding to families all along his delivery route. Playing part philanthropic local, part plain-clothed Santa Claus, we had to know more.

An Old Jerry Hsu Interview
I found an old Jerry Hsu interview with GQ where Jerry talks about some of the origins of Sci-fi Fantasy, his style and his influences as he grow up in skateboarding watching other Pros.
An old interview but new to me. At the time of this interview Sci-Fi Fantasy wasn’t even a board company. Jerry was just making shit and putting it online. Which is what I try to do. Find something cool and share it with the people. Lately it’s been a lot more articles and videos, music and what not but I am aware originality is what people want. Shit originality is what I want.
Jerry Hsu is definitely an American original. And it’s skaters and people like Jerry show you how to carve your own path by just watching what they do because you not going to find another person like him.

Still Watching: Greyson Fletcher
Jake Phelps was the face of thrasher and since his passing, it’s hard to think of thrasher and not think about Jake. I think the staff at Thrasher knows that, I mean Jake was a literal human encyclopedia when it came to Thrasher history. It’s nuts! There’s a clip somewhere of Rowan talking about calling Jake and asking him about a photo from an old magazine from the nineties and Jake, without hesitation, knew exactly what Rowan was talking about. There’s a few times that this has happened. Jake’s life was the mag!
Since then Thrasher has done a beautiful thing keeping his memory alive with the series, Still Watching. Where skateboarders talk about their favorite memories with Jake. What he meant to them and what it was like to be around him. The week it was with Greyson Fletcher, a skater that I wasn’t the must hype on when he first came across my screen but over the years and watching him skate and watching his interview, I’ve come to like the guy. He is completely different from what I thought he would be like, whatever my wack mind came up with at the time, but dude’s a ripper. Greyson Fletcher shares what Jake did for him on a trip to Brazil and how he helped him get a gnarly feature in magnified.

Tyshawn stopped at the Breakfast Club. It’s a must watch.
Tyshawn grew up skateboarding in the streets of New York and though he’s been in the Breakfast Club’s backyard for years, he’s still relatively unknown in major media spaces. He sits and talks about coming up in skateboarding and he’s watched things change since he’s been in the sport. From skateboarding being an outcast sport to being accepted, a lot of people still don’t understand how a person becomes a pro in skateboarding or how the business works and Tyshawn does his best to shed some light on his perspective of skateboarding.
I wish this was a bit longer but maybe Tyshawn will be back

Neckface w. Living Proof New York
Neckface sat down with Living Proof New York, a podcast out of New York that interviews different artists and skateboarders. They seem pretty raw and real, asking genuine questions with minimal set up. Nothing feels overly produced but there’s a genuine curiosity for whoever is sitting across the table. Neckface sat down with them a while ago and it made for good conversation.
Neckface has been around in skateboarding since forever. I don’t remember when I was first introduced to him (via online video) I just thought he was just some skate homie around thrasher that people liked. He was funny never taking anything too serious. Reminded me of some people I know in my personal life. Eventually I found out he was an artist. When you see his art, it’s uniquely him. I haven’t seen anything like it.
I haven’t really seen him sit down with anyone and really talk about his origin story. What got him into art and graffiti? Influences? Stuff like that. But my favorite question he answered was, “how does he balance his passion for art as a job?” I think he gives the best answer I’ve seen so far!
It’s a good watch, check it out!
Here’s some bonus footy of Neckface out hitting up some spot in New York
