Since Avril Lavigne’s classic hit “Sk8er Boy” first showed skateboarders could be desirable mates, skaters’ lovability has maxxxed out. Just carrying a skateboard today will get you thirsty looks and occasional catcalls. Girls love it, guys love it, everyone loves skateboarders (or at least they think they do).
In an effort to help skateboarders capitalize on their exoticism, we came up with the first (and only) blind dating show that pairs skaters with non-skaters. Follow along as one skater and one normie awkwardly navigate the space between true romance and reality TV.
Whether you skate or don’t, you may catch a glimpse of yourself in these contestants and feel the urge to find a love of your own.
For episode five of “Date A Sk8er,” we set up Chachi Maserati of Bronze with Abby, a fashion stylist, and let them wander the bars around Jenkem HQ. A match made in heaven, or the date from hell? Watch to find out…
If you live in / can get to the NYC area, send a short profile video explaining why we should set you up to: staff@jenkemmag.com
All gender identities and sexual orientations welcome!

My wife is a Ghost and I’m cool with that.
Ancient ways Sumerians.
Dance in the witches den yada yada yada.
I have mild to moderate agoraphobia so this is where I’m coming from.
Thank you dear Jenkem for having open discourse. Hmm. Well all I can say this weekend was a banger for me on the board and in the spiritual realm. Summer is over yo.
Loving a person who has passed is easier said than done. Although there is no physical contact there is security. And what of the DM? Who is companion to whom? Theres the short answer and the long answer. All I can say is look for signs and don’t kill insects if you can help it. I’ve been known to crush a few root beer cans and brown recluse spiders in my day.
You can never really fix a broken heart,rather open it up and demystify it twice.
Is this making sense?
Nah?♦️?
