Bro(s), Slow Impact is essentially a convention of 300 30+ skaters wearing the Reynolds shoe. Truly wild.

Waking up, peeking at the NHL standings, and seeing a Y next to the Sabres' name for the first time since 2010

Pencils with bad, non-functional erasers — what's going on here? Who are we kidding?

Popovers were really sick! What's up with the post-grinder rub bricking? Touching up a rough spot, or is the brick a finer grit to smooth it out even more?

I haven't pulled the trigger on a grinder and am still bricking by hand on the off chance I'm going from scratch.

Ok Terry, ok ok ok

James Kelch, middle-age sartorial icon

Range of motion, I assume?

I temporarily suspended my "the Olympics are trash" stance to watch with the kids this year.
They were into it, and it was nice until Tage Thompson got outed as a maga bozo. Now this.

Time to get back in the "these games destroy cities so that Coke and corrupt officials can get rich" trenches!

I don't smile enough while skating.

Man. I can't wait to have a healed pelvis and have an AI-free weekend on my skateboard.

Poets LOVE using "profligate"

Definitely saw some Supreme dudes pushing around in Nike / Preme puffers while the sane world was wearing hoodies when they left the house and skating in tees a few years back.

Negligence is negligence and saying "but I'm old" shouldn't factor into things if your death machine kills four people.

We should also be giving people drivers tests at every renewal. I bet it sucks to get some level of personal agency taken away, but fewer pedestrians will get smoked. Take a Lyft.

What are y'all doing this weekend

Crazy how I have been on the internet my entire life and am still this bad at it.

FINE here's a working link: skatejawn.com/frosted-flak...

Here's a sentence that would have been incomprehensible to me two years ago:

I wrote some short fiction for the new issue of Skate Jawn.

Terence,

Ex-Ottawa Senators Ron Tugnutt

Bumping this because I was walking down memory lane and forgot about ol' Ron

Guy in one of the first few rows of the most violent hockey games I've ever seen, cheering for the Sabres, is wearing an eS hoodie and brown pants.

Voltron, always

The spaces between bases Slow Impact dispatches from José Vadi and Ian Browning, a dispatch from my couch, the end of time, and more.

This week, @vadiparty.bsky.social and @ibrowning.bsky.social report on the people, happenings, and wheelbases of Slow Impact, I report on some things I saw on television, an AMAZING opossum video, and more.

Bryce, 13" wheelbase

Mardea, 14.5"

Z, 13.5

Antwuan, idk lol

I hit the streets of Tempe during Slow Impact to get a little slice of the weekend (and annoy people with questions about their wheelbase) for Simple Magic:

I had not considered a hemp necklace resurgence but now that you mention it, the vibes do seem imminent.

Finn Pope: two minute minor for skating to The Cure in an Antihero flick. Sorry, but those are the rules.

Got the make, like, two tries later

Hughes still playing after having two teeth cracked — important not to say that professional team sports are skateboarding, and yet

What an insane thing to say, jeez

Unreal how much faster this game is than anything in the NHL, and it's maybe less fun?
