You thought the goofy boys were ancient history? Think again! Dust off your purple size 38 Fuct jeans, because we’re back in this!

Yesterday I asked Gabe Chan to put together a new mix for the site. Gabe grew up skating in the 80s and fully lived and embraced the jump ramp culture of the era. His theme is “10 Songs to launch to”. He said “I chose these because that’s what I remember hearing the older dudes play from the garage during the launch ramp sessions”. Channel your inner Jeff Pettit and Ray Simmonds, break out a ladder, and BLAST!
