the man himself
Yes, Jesse Alba is the son of OG skateboarding legend, Steve (“Salba”) Alba, but that doesn’t mean he’s hanging on to his daddy’s cheetah-printed kneepads to make a name for himself. His stand-out parts in \m/ and Cosmic Vomit 2 prove he’s more than just a veteran’s son with colored griptape and a bleached mohawk. And as for his musical tastes, well, they’re just as eclectic and filled with feel-good vibes as his tricks and his ‘fits would have you believe.

WE GOT TONY HAWK!!!!! No, but really though, do we really need to introduce the man President Obama once called “the greatest skateboarder in the world”. The CEO of Skateboarding took some time between traveling the world, filming new video parts and riding hover boards to compile this mix of some of his favorite songs for us at Jenkem. Out of all the obligations he must have, and people knocking on his door constantly, it really shows how awesome Tony is as a human and how he still is supporting skateboarding on the ground floor. Tune in and see what a 46-year-old skate rat with more money than you’d know what to do with listens to to get hyped.

If you haven’t already seen Aaron Herrington’s part from Static IV, then stop reading now, put down Instagram, and watch it before continuing your pathetic life. Like any good NYC-transplant, Aaron’s musical tastes reflect the hodgepodge diversity of the city he now calls home. From Morrissey to Migos to Mötley Crüe, check out the 21st installment of the Jenkem mix series with Polar and Cons rider Aaron Herrington.

(PS. Yes, he wrote the playlist on the back of a magazine article while on tour)

Did you know that the proper pronunciation of the common Vietnamese last name “Nguyen” actually sounds something like the word “win”? Probably not, since you’re an uncultured skate rat that only knows it’s the last name of the 1st dude to ollie El Toro (first try!), Don “the Nuge” Nguyen.
Anyways, the Nuge took some time off between playing bass for the LSDemons and Arctic, running the Vol. 4 brand, and jumping down massive shit for Baker and Cons to make a mix for the 22nd installment of the Jenkem mix series. Hank Williams, Holocaust, and Outkast amongst others? That’s a win right there!

Transition skating has gotten so gnarly lately that it’s hard for a simpleton like me to even comprehend. See exhibit A: the San Diego native Tom Remillard. He rips the steep walls of Washington Street like a mini-ramp and pulls complete loops in full pipes, usually with a cast on his arm no less!
We got the Expedition and CONS rider to curate the 23rd installment of our Jenkem mix series. I kind of figured it’d be filled with hesher guitar riffs, but other than a single Sabbath song the playlist is surprisingly mostly made up of classic country, blues, rock and one random fuccboi party track.
(PS: We know, the written tracklist is super haggard, but that’s what we get for asking him while he was on tour – scraps of paper and sticky notes)

You’ve seen him play grab-ass in Slap’s One in a Million, you’ve watched him wall-ride and one-foot straight into your heart, now listen to the mental soundtrack from one of skateboarding’s most wonderful free spirits, Chris “Mango” Milic, via the 24 installment of the Jenkem mix series. The mix, much like Mango’s skating and fashion choices, can best be described as avant-garde, which I think is French for “strange as shit.”
Geek out with us and stream it below, or download it here.

You might not know much about Dolan Stearns, so we’ll give you a quick primer before you listen to his playlist: He occasionally skates in overalls, makes some pretty cool art, and has one of the most well-floated ollies in the game today, just check his “Meet the Lurkers” part for proof. Besides that it seems the Lurkville and Cons skater’s got a good mind for making mixtapes. This one, the 25th installment of our Jenkem Mix Series, veers from the country warbles of Townes Van Zandt to Modest Mouse to the synthy hip-hop of Jonwayne and back again.

If you haven’t been following our site for a long time you might be wondering, “who the hell is Halie Woody?” Well, simply put, she’s a fan of Jenkem and skateboarding… but, more importantly, she’s Michigan’s self proclaimed #1 ramp tramp. Yup. Back when she was 18 she wrote us an email offering nudes in exchange for some Jenkem gear, and we’ve been in touch ever since. As it turns out, Halie’s a pretty entertaining human, a talented writer, and has been down since day one. Since she has been such an avid supporter of the site for so long, we decided to give her a Jenkem mix – Halie’s “Dick Down” mix – to fuel you in the bedroom.

You didn’t think we’d ask skateboarding’s version of the wacky, waving, inflatable, flailing arm tube man for a Jenkem Mix, did ya? Well we did, because screw your “style over substance” tirade, Torey’s skateboarding is out of this world. He does combos cleaner than his scraggly appearance would let on, and just one of his backlips lasts longer than if every grind from the DGK video was edited together.
So what does this pot-smokin’, break-dance style havin’, teddy bear griptape ripper listen to when he’s not coming up with new flip-in/flip-out variations? Well, that Rolling Stones song from his part in the Plan B video for starters. (But maybe when he listens to that song he thinks about the slam section from Misled Youth instead, who knows?) What we do know is that T-Puds is one of the most technically progressive skaters on the planet whose given us a playlist with a range of veritable classics for us to enjoy.

If you are an older skateboarder you might associate Jeremy Klein with World Industries, Steve Rocco and pioneering early street skateboarding. If you are a younger dude you might know him from his board company Hookups or Birdhouse’s video The End. Or maybe you just haven’t heard of him at all. That’s fine. All you need to know is that he is a very fun video game and anime loving dude from California and he has done more in skateboarding than most of us ever will. Currently running JK Industries and now 43 years old, we asked Mr. Klein for a list of tunes to zone out to.

Believe it or not, there used to be a time in skateboarding where European skaters were written off as irrelevant to American audiences no matter how good they were. “So-and-so did blah blah blah but it doesn’t matter because he’s French.” This sort of sentiment was all too common in the late 90s and early 2000s when Lucas Puig was coming up for Cliché and honing the ledge wizardry we revere him for today.
But things have changed in the last few decades, and American skaters have not only accepted Euro skaters, they’ve started emulating their sporty fashion and fancy footwork. Lucas is one of the main reasons for this change – he consistently comes out with mind blowing parts in some of the flyest fits around.
While Lucas claims that there’s no point in him ever relocating to America because he’ll always be considered a “European skater,” his musical tastes make him a de facto American. For the 29th installment of the Jenkem mix series, check out these cuts culled from the best of the best that Worldstar has to offer.

Did you know that the skater commonly known as Spanky used to skate for Kareem Campbell’s company City Stars? It’s difficult to picture the Kevin Long we know today, suave fashionisto from Baker and Emerica fame, in a blinging star-shaped medallion, but if things had gone just a little differently we’d be here applauding his ghetto birds instead of his frontside flips. But so it goes…
Time may have matured Spanky into Kevin Long, but this mix that he made us, the 31st in our Jenkem Mix Series, shows Kevin ‘Spanky’ Long’s wide range of influences. From the avant-garde classical stylings of Moondog, to the Southern thuggery of Trick Daddy, to the noise pop of Jesus & Mary Chain, this mix has it all.

I’ve been on a couple of Levi’s skateboarding trips with Josh now and I still am not sure how to really describe him except that he’s just a “good guy.” I know… that doesn’t really help you much – but he’s super easy to get along with, level headed and doesn’t fake the funk. And why wouldn’t he be cool? From Eugene, Oregon, he’s done it all himself – moved to California, survived two of his former sponsors going out of business (éS & Think) and has continued to progress by joining the HUF squad and becoming pro for Organika last year. After a quick text, he sent over this mellow tracklist written on his (blank?) board, perfect for van tour downtime or staring out the window of any train, plane or automobile.

Real Skateboards pro and top tier switch heel flipper Davis Torgerson is going to make a great dad, I mean, the mix he gave us for our 33rd installment of the Jenkem Mix Series is the perfect cool-dad playlist. From the folksy rock of Cat Stevens and Rodriguez to the new wave of New Order and Nico, Davis has crafted a mixtape made for long-distance family road trips to Wallyworld. And Davis isn’t going to be some kind of absent father either, he’s already made a video for the DLX Build project that teaches the youngins how to properly bondo a crack – even if the spot he fixed was totally unskateable (total dad-move). So turn on this mix, grab a cold one and a coozie, and enjoy.

Hailing from the land of Vikings and impossibly good skate spots, Copenhagen, Denmark, Hjalte Halberg is the quintessential Dane. Blonde, blue-eyed, bulky, and light-hearted – he’s pretty much Thor on a skateboard. I mean, have you seen him noseslide? It’s amazing.
Anyways, the Polar pro came through with an eclectic mix of tunes, from the familiar psych guitar of Jimi Hendrix to the grimy rap-noir of Ten Wanted Men, for your listening pleasure. Kick back to the 34th mix of the Jenkem Mix Series.

A tour van is a weird and funny place. Imagine, a bunch of sweaty skaters trapped together in a tiny automobile being shuttled from skatespot to skatespot – it becomes like its own little ecosystem in there, every person having a role to play: there’s the driver, of course, then there’s the navigator, there’s the designated spliff roller, the “Show Me Your Tits” sign holder, the guy in the back trying to sleep… But the most important role of the whole deal is the DJ, the man that sets the mood for the journey. In the Real Skateboards tour van, that responsibility is bestowed upon Jake Donnelly.
To celebrate the release of REAL’s new video, Through and Through, we hit up Jake to give us a playlist of tour van songs that might have been playing as the REAL team went from spot to spot, city to city.

We finally got him, the man that can set the Internet aflame with a manual and a noseblunt line at a skatepark, your favorite wood pusher’s favorite wood pusher, Mr. Gino Iannucci. Gino’s been surprisingly visible since joining the Dill & AVE super squad at Fucking Awesome, putting out more minutes of video interviews in the last year than the entire catalogue of publicly available skate footage from his entire career. Here’s another entry for your obsession with getting inside the head of this enigmatic Long Islander, our 37th installment of the Jenkem Mix Series.
Expecting it to be a Best of the Wu-Tang handpicked by Gino? We kinda were too. But he surprised us all with a diverse mix of classic hip hop and ’80s rock classics.

When you think about DGK, you probably think about goofy white boys, shuv-it rewinds, and maybe Jason Kidd jersey jeans. You probably don’t think about handrails and hubbas and well-fitting pants, but that’s because you’re probably not thinking about Boo Johnson. Boo (real name Jakel Johnson) showed a gnarlier side of the Dirty Ghetto Kid image with his unexpected Blood Money part, and now he’s giving us a different taste with his Jenkem Mix of mellow soulful tunes moving to straight trap bangers.
