Throughout history, our greatest minds have worked towards finding a true set of keys to life. Aristotle prescribed seeking out meaningful relationships. Plato believed in the pursuit of truth. Uhhh, talk about a fucking snorefest.
Here’s the Genesis keys to life: Fortnite, weed, and skateboarding.
Now that’s something we can get behind. And to help spread the word about this great discovery, we bring you another Jenkem x Genesis certifried classic: a tour of the Genesis Mansion.
Home to our very own Ian Ostrowski and two Genny staples, Dylan Clark and Jasper Levine, this Victorian-style behemoth is adding to the rich tradition and tapestry of skate houses. A tapestry weaved out of half-deflated air mattresses, empty beer can towers, and fridges full of takeout.
A rite of passage, these skate houses represent a time every skater will look back on, so when Ian offered to give us a reality tv style look inside their LA crashpad, we obliged, and let me tell you, from the ghost stories to the bong rips, this one is a #1 Victory Royale.
