Stereo Skateboards Took A Road Trip To Atlanta - Featuring Jason Lee and Chris Pastras
Jason Lee used to skateboard down the street from my school. I saw him skateboard before I even knew who he was. He would hit the Santa Monica Mall before it turned into an open air piece of yuppie garbage. You know, right where 3rd street met up with the mall, well there was a nice 3 step rail. Active Ride Shop now has a store near there, but I'll digress.
Stereo Skateboards is one of my favorite companies putting out skateboards right now. They find a way to make things artistic, and still put out great elements. I don’t know how I missed this one, but I wanted to feature them on this site for some time. Now, if you don’t know the company, it’s made famous by Jason Lee and Chris Pastras. The two owners have been putting out some amazing graphics, and skateboarding for some time. They have some sick pro riders on their team right now. The Stereo Skateboards team includes Matt Rodriguez, Tommy Fynn, and Clint Peterson. These guys rip, and of course Jason Lee and Chris Pastras still head up the main squad, albeit Jason Lee does more movies than skateboarding, right?
For the release of Stereo Skateboards Jazz 101, the company collaborates with Mark Penxa. His work is seen here with Jazz Icons on the decks. If you’re a collector of skateboards, and like putting them on the wall, here’s a set of 5 that you’re going to want to pick up, no doubt. These 5 skateboards from Stereo Skateboards are nothing short of impressive. I for one am going to be picking up all 5.
There’s a cinematic quality to the video that The Berrics put out featuring Stereo Skateboards rider Jordan Hoffart. Stereo Skateboards is one of those brands that I’ve always liked, but don’t hear a lot of people talking about. Their team is pretty solid, and of course Jason Lee’s name is still a good one to throw around the skateboarding world. Chris Pastras is great too. But they can’t hold down the team on their own, which is why guys like Jordan get in the mix. Well, dude can rip. With this video, you get a feel for the skateboarding that he does, and it’s just tech with a mix of gusto. Stereo Skateboards and The Berrics really do well in representing themselves here. Jordan Hoffart is killer, the quality of the video is really good, and the tricks are varied. You have flip tricks, you have gaps, rails, etc. 6 minutes and you’re down for the Stereo Skateboards that’s for sure.
