Bum Rush The Spot Philly at FDR skatepark

"Bum Rush the Spot is a skate jam held in different city's. The event utilizes the natural street spot, backyard ramps, DYI spots and anything that is fun to skate. Bum Rush the Spot was born from the spirit of skateboarding with friends and sessionning a spot. Our goal is to bring the skateboard community together on a platform of having fun and jamming out together." -Joel Meinholz

I would like to give a huge thanks to all of our homies that helped sponsor the event Traffic, Thrasher, Pusher, RedBull, Cons, Hopps, Hardtimes, Theories, 5boro, Bones, Dickies,  and the other shops who are helping Kinetic, Nocturnal, and Reign.

Levi's and Nike have come together for a series of products manufactured with skateboarders in mind. Based on their popular 511 skinny jean, the 511 Skateboarding Jean draws upon its cousin, the 511 Commuter Jean, by combining the great fit, cut, and craftsmanship Levi's is known for, and Nike's technological prowess and understanding of the modern-day athlete's needs. Made from Cone Mills fabrics, the 511 SkateboardingJean features Nike Dri-Fit technology, a little bit of stretch, and Levi's pantented Water

The jeans will also come in a limited Made in the USA Team Edition, also made from Cone Mills fabrics, and utilizing Nike's Dri-Fit moisture management system, wicking away sweat while skating. A strong Vectran weave makes the jeans more durable without adding to the weight, so they do not rip. Adding to the reinforcement of the denim are copper rivets and extra-strong thread and bar tack stitching, which means they'll hold their own after more than a few bails.

Rounding out the collection are a Denim Trucker Jacket, Nike x Levi's Omar Salazar LR Signature Shoe, and a Nike SB x Levi's Dunk Low Pro. The Made in the USA 511 Skateboarding Jean and Nike x Levi's Omar Salazar Signature Shoe

Vans and Exit Skateboard Shop are proud to present “Pave The Way”, a photo exhibition opening June 15th, 2012, at Exit's Northern Liberties Location in Philadelphia. “Pave The Way” showcases the legendary work of C.R. Stecyk III, Mofo, Tobin Yelland and Lance Dawes, chronicling their lives and iconic careers shooting some of the most pivotal photographs throughout the history of skateboarding and beyond.

In the late 1970s, co-founder of Zephyr Productions and original founder of the Dogtown movement, C.R. Stecyk III changed the look and feel of skateboarding forever. His articles and photo essays during the 1970s for Skateboarder Magazine and visuals for Powell Peralta during the Bones Brigade era set the standard for the documentation and attitude of skateboarding for years to come.

The true creative force behind the early Thrasher look, feel and voice; Mofo is the truth. From the beginnings of street skating, jump ramps, wallrides and McTwists, Mofo was there capturing the moment, defining and refining it for the rest of us and spewing it onto the pages of the “Bible”.

Tobin Yelland became a professional photographer in 1990 after having his first photo published in Thrasher Magazine at the age of fifteen. Yelland’s work has expanded beyond the world of skateboarding to form a vast collection of images that gives a voice to an entire generation, transcending many locales and social identities.

Lance Dawes moved to San Francisco from Washington DC in 1990 and worked in the darkroom at Thrasher Magazine before founding Slap Magazine in 1992, where he was editor, art director and chief photographer. Dawes was instrumental in documenting the San Francisco skate scene in the early 90’s and has relentlessly continued to shoot skateboarding around the world over the past 20 years.
“Pave the Way” opens June 15th with an opening reception from 6 – 9 p.m. at 825 N. 2nd St. Philadelphia PA 19123.

Exit will also be presenting a special pre-release preview of the new book "FDR Skatepark - A visual history". You will have a chance to win a free copy of the book, and pre order your own copy.
