Sometimes it's hard not to feel like the skateboarding industry hasn't given up on the Philadelphia Area. Thinking back to the days when everyone who was somebody was calling this city home, but when push came to shove most bailed as quick as they could get a Chinatown bus ticket out of this place. But it will never be the "SOMEBODYs" that make a scene strong, it's the "NOBODYs". The Nine to Fivers working full time jobs, and still managing to start a company, open a shop, build a park, film a video, or simply JUST SKATE. Not for some companies paycheck but for the love of Skateboarding.
This year alone we have seen so much amazing shit go down, and Chris Mulhern's "This Time Tomorrow" and Phil Gushue's "Spot On" will undoubtedly show a city alive and pushing. Followed up by another one from our longtime friend Sean McGinnes "The Watched" will surely join the ranks as a local powerhouse. Check out the trailer and his brand new site with updates, interviews, and other video details.
Keep Pushing Philadelphia.
