One of many highlights of the SkateFolk event was the diversity in skateboarders on the scene. And in the middle of the session Harley was there. Didn’t get to learn much about his story that day but his passion and determination exuded skateboarding to the fullest. Here is Harley’s 180 Ollie from the bump over the bench. So good! 🛹🦾

The SkateFolk Olympic Watch and Block Party was a huge success. For two days skaters and supporters alike took over The Howard Theatre. And the takeover was both inside and out with two mini ramps, street setup, vendors and more. And of course a big screen to watch the women’s and men’s skatepark finals. Here are a few pics (more to come):

This is going down tonight in DC! Much thanks to Deckaid and all the sponsors for organizing a dope show for a good cause and in honor the late great DMV Skater Pepe Martinez.

There’s so much that could be said about Dylan Rieder as a skateboarder and a person. And the basic sentiment so many share is that he is gone way too soon. His recent death was a shock to many due to complications battling Leukemia. If you want to send a nasty blow to that cancer, his family asked that donations be directed to Dr. Stephan Forman at City of Hope, in Dylan’s name: http://www.cityofhope.org/giving/donate

On the internet there are tons of images and footage that will come up and we encourage to spend the time enjoying it all. We just wanted to share this priceless edit by Gravis Footwear from 2010 that demonstrates his power and prowess on a skateboard, that we will surely miss. Thank you Skateboarding. Push on Forever Dylan Rieder. -SC

The D.C. Wheels Charity Team has been a group of crusading skateboarders for many causes over the years. Created and lead by founder Jimmy Pelletier, the team of skateboarders have skated to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson’s Disease, Ovarian Cancer, the homeless and much more. This video by Roberto Mejia (also a member of the D.C. Wheels) highlights a several of those events. Perri Morgan and Rebecca Davis Macias produced some sick lines, while Matt Willigan represented for the past, present and future Pulaski OG’s at Freedom Plaza. Yoshi Tanenbaum, Brian Tucci and Hojin Chang all brought the heat as well. Great job to all involved in producing this testament of goodwill through skateboarding.

This is a great recap of the DC Wheels Charity Team when they tore through Philly, Strong Island and NYC. Follow Gustavo Ordaz on Vimeo to get more skateboarding gems from the DMV. Keep Shredding DC Wheels Fam!
