Okay, Last Try

We had the pleasure of talking with a Detroit-based designer and the founder and scarecrow behind Stunt365, Marco De Leo. If you haven’t heard of Stunt365 yet, don’t worry because you will soon. We’ve been seeing more and more skaters rocking Stunt gear in videos, so it’s only a matter of time until you spot it or one of your homies ends up buying a piece themselves. Marco is a bit of a one-man band, coming up with the designs, making his own screens, printing by hand, and shipping everything himself. Aside from T-shirts, hoodies, and hats, Marco has also designed and printed on motorcycle helmets, skateboards, and snowboard park features. Despite losing power in his workspace during our call, Marco stuck around in the dark and talked to us about running a small business, collabs that don’t go hard, and where he hopes to take the brand in the near future.

Adelaide may be new to most of you, but she’s filmed and edited her own videos and had parts in videos like Shari White’s Credits [https://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2020/05/22/diving-vans-credits-videos-paved-way/], Maximum Flow [https://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2020/10/22/watch-shari-whites-new-video-maximum-flow/], and Vans’ latest collaborative full length Nice To See You [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4CcloyO2mE&t=204s]. She is also Pass~Port’s newest team rider, so hopefully, you can expect to see her in their next video project, too. In this episode, we got to hear about Adelaide’s quarantine projects, meeting her biggest skate heroes, and her camping experiences in Australia’s outback.

Welcome back to another episode of “Okay, Last Try.” For the latest episode, we had the chance to meet the man who has his finger on the pulse of online skate gossip, Gifted Hater. [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC82d7bBOUmsE_b8crhEgSIw] By now, you’ve probably come across a few of Gifted Hater’s videos on Youtube. If not, you can usually find him reviewing and poking fun at the Berrics, reviewing recent videos, or running through the most recent gossip in his segment “Hateline ABD.” In this episode, we talked to Gifted Hater about all things Cariuma, ongoing Youtube beef, and how much gatekeeping is the perfect amount of gatekeeping. You can find every episode on Youtube, Spotify, Soundcloud, or Apple Podcasts. Give it a listen and a review if you have any thoughts. Let us know if we should cancel ourselves or not. – Larry

Elise and I sat down, in person, with LA-based skater Eunice Chang (@notcheetos) while she was on an east coast trip. Having Eunice in-person, live in the studio was a treat, and because of this, the episode turned out to be less of an interview and way more of a free-flowing conversation. We talked about which skaters are the hottest, who Eunice and Elise can beat up, and the morals of being a skater and a model.

Elise and I kick it with Vancouver-based skater Breana Geering while she comes to the end of her 14-day mandatory quarantine. We talk to Breana about killing time, what goes into designing a shoe, drag queens, and if switch mongo is valid or not. Stick around after the interview to hear Elis and I riff about some recent skate videos, my new haircut, and Pride.
