This statement may sound ridiculous, but we wouldn’t print it if we didn’t think it was true: Skateboarding has always been a guide to what’s cool in the world. Since the early days of street skating, each generation of skateboarders has unwittingly educated the tastes and fashions of the next generation. Growing up they were like our collective big brothers and sisters, putting us on to what had some flavor and what sort of sucked.
For our second entry of One Sheet, we hit up Kevin “Spanky” Long, who we’ve interviewed in the past and have had a soft spot for since his early days on Emerica and Baker. Judging from his insane Etch-A-Sketch art and trippy Instagram skate edits, we know Kevin is a creative type, so we figured he’d have a lot of good recommendations to pass your way.

I feel like Dogs are kinda a burden, it would be nice to have a new BFF(especially in quarantine) but they cost hella money with food & The Vet + you gotta find someone to babysit them when you go on vacation. You be lucky if they live 10 years too hella sad when they die. If I was to get a pet I’d get some type of Tortoise cuz they hibernate half the year and live longer than humans.
