ZARED BASSET GOES DEEP WITH SKATEBOARD STORY

We’re in the dog days of summer right now. In the United States they just had a holiday weekend (at a profoundly weird time to consider the concept of a holiday). There’s a bit less happening in the world of skating, but we are not deterred. There has been some good stuff that has slipped through the cracks in the last few weeks. Now is the time for us to play catch up and help you fill your day as you try and avoid the oppressive heat.

Take for example this in-depth interview with Zered Bassett that he did with his friend Ben Oleynik for Skateboard Story. Bassett may only be 36, but he’s been in the world of skateboarding for over 20 years. That gives a ton of skating experience, and also life experience. Talking to a friend of his also probably helped Bassett feel comfortable with opening up. That makes for a substantive interview that you can read right now. Hey, reading is cool. An owl taught us that when we were kids.
