From pushing around on a Pokémon complete from Target to skating Tony Hawk’s vert ramp nearly every day, Jimmy Wilkins’ skateboard journey has come a long way.

He reflects on the VHS tapes he wore out and skate legends—Bob Burnquist, Chris Miller, and others—who shaped his journey. Hit play and hear it all from Jimmy. #platfrm #skateboarding

Jimmy Wilkins 'It Just Makes Cents'

Years ago, Max Schaaf rode a dollar-shaped deck for an ad. It was a dumb Idea, but he pulled it off. So naturally, we gave Jimmy something even worse and asked him to channel that same energy. Somehow, he did it. And Iived. All is well.

Portraits: Greyson Fletcher's Explosive Life

If you don’t already know who Greyson Fletcher is, you’re blowing it! Luckily for you we tracked him down, chatted him up and stitched together enough footage to paint you a Greyson Fletcher Portrait. “I want my life to be every day explosive,” says Greyson, the son of surf legacy. Known for getting more wild than rest while skating, Greyson shares how it all stems from a family of surfing. Then, all signs point to Portland’s Burnside. Whenever he’s in the area, Greyson’s first stop is the infamous DIY to pay his raw and fast dues–a truly perfect canvas. After sharing his thoughts on the state of skate and why social media sucks, you’ll have seen enough footage of him with a little help from the homies to, “spark up,” and want to start living like Greyson Fletcher yourself.

Vert Skateboarding Chasing The Olympic Dream

As seen in the Return to Vert, the resurgence of halfpipe skateboarding is stronger than ever, with more skateboarders dropping in and progression exceeding anyone's expectations. Park and street skateboarding are making their second appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, yet one familiar arena is still left on the sidelines: vert skateboarding. Hear from current vert rippers Arisa Trew, Gui Khury to halfpipe greats and ambassadors Jason Ellis, Selema Masekela, and more on what it would mean for skateboarding to have vert in the Olympics. #platfrm #skateboarding

Quality Time with Jimmy Wilkins

The crew got to spend a few days with Jimmy in his resident town of Cardiff, CA. We told him to act as if we were not there and to just go about his day as he normally would. Jimmy showed us around his house, made us some food, destroyed us in chess, and let us watch him do some woodworking and frame building. To close things out, he took us to the ramp and started to warm up. We all sat down, shut up and watched as we noted that Jimmy's warm up runs are all made up of shit most people wish they could do in their dreams. Thanks for the revs and the good times, Jimmy!

Jimmy's debut pro model shoe, The Wilkins, along with his signature apparel collection is available now at skate shops and Lakai.com. The collection features Red Suede, Black Suede and All-White Canvas colorways.
