If you’ve spent enough time on the skate shop couch or bench at your local park, you’ve probably taken part in some good ol’ fashioned “shop talk.” It’s the conversations of gear, videos, and the general shit talk that makes the world go round.
There are new debates every single day, so that’s why we’ve brought back Shop Talk, our series where we interview the locals for their opinions and hot takes.
On today’s episode, we’re at Tenant Skateshop’s new location in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
On a busy Sunday sidewalk we set up shop and asked some burning questions- What board brand shouldn’t exist? Has skateboarding gone soft? And more.
If you want us to stop by your shop and interview the local heads, all you have to do is buy us a plane ticket out there and convince us it’ll be a good time. Fuck it, we’ll probably do it.
