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)
Stream it below or download it here.

I remember years ago in Thrasher (or was it another mag? someone here will correct me), Remillard did an interview where he said he listened to a lot of reggae. Shouted out Barrington Levy, Steel Pulse and I don’t remember who else. Looks like his list has come along way since then, haha. Always stoked on anything Remillard.

Dear Jenkem,
Please do a new “skater celebrity look alikes” and include that Tom Remillard looks like Shia Labeouf. http://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/v2_article_large/public/2011/06/28/120867-shia-labeouf.jpg?itok=2yDT6ALf
Sincerly,
