What do you know about skateboarding in St. Louis, Missouri? If you’ve been following our site over the last few years, you might know about the St. Losers, an impressive crew of blue-collar rippers that have been unapologetic in repping their hometown despite its rusty crust. We wrote about the premiere of their last video a few years ago, and, now, we’re proud to show off sections of their newest offering, “Comb,” which digs even deeper into that Midwest patina.
Spoiler alert: the whole video is basically colored brown. Whether it’s the old, brick buildings, crud encrusted sidewalks, or rusted metal railings, “Comb” may be the most shit-colored skate video ever (which is not to say it’s shitty, quite the contrary, actually). For a place once nicknamed “Brick City,” St. Louis was bound to become a literal brown town, and “Comb” shows it off in glorious fashion.
Without further ado, we’re happy to show y’all this most excellent section featuring the Send Help skaters from “Comb.” Props to these guys for skating over shit so smoothly and making dilapidated buildings look so fun. Paint the town brown, baby!

St. Louis was never really referred to as the “Brick City”
January 20, 2018 12:15 pm
with access to immense amounts of red clay, St. Louis became one of the most concentrated areas of brick use in the world in the 19th century. Brick commerce thrived for a century and St. Louis was definitely “really” referred to by many as the Brick City. of course long before most cities proclaimed to be Brick City for obvious other reasons.

As you all know stl skateboarding has grown. There for Alex and the rest of their “group” are very clicky. Not welcoming. Stuck up people.

Big fish in a small pond syndrome. I grew up in Stl but live on the west coast now. I skate with pros and ams on a regular basis and they are way more personable and humble.
