Skateshops from all over Southern California made their way out to Globe's HQ this past Friday for the second annual Snake Sessions Mini Ramp Contest.

Ronnie and Cedric catch a couple sessions on their way down to Watsonville before engaging in some heavy backyard vert revelry with the homies.

Vans hosted a double-decker bus SF skate history tour followed by an epic sesh at Treasure Island. Burnout climbed aboard.

On Friday, Gonz had a surprise Bday party in Hollywood and our man Hambone was there to catch the action. Cheers to the big 5-0, Mark! 

The Dickies family shows up in full force to welcome our 2017 Skater of the Year to the squad. This team is stacked.

In honor of Mark G and the historic Y-Ramp contest of yesteryear, we teamed up with adidas to bring the contest back to the beach. The channel claimed a few bodies, Pabich took home the top spot, and the G-Man brought down the house.

Old crusty spots separate the men from the boys. Parque de Carolinas in Quito, Ecuador has been there for 40 years. It ain't going nowhere. I took the best of '97 there and it went off—cops, broads, beers and busting. The next time I went 20 years later, the kids that grew up with the mag wanted some Eccy juice. Took the now dudes and, needless to say, Hellride was on, "Rocky Mountain Way" all the way. —Jake Phelps

The last three years I’ve been starting out the year with a trip to South America. Following the Sun in life is a good rule. –Jake Phelps

These Masher edits are about more than the skating in front of the lens, they’re also about the man holding the camera and blazing through the bowls at mach speed. Hell yeah, Gregson!
