Carlisle Aikens never imagined that he would become a professional skater or a model. In the most recent episode of Hypebeast’s “Diaries” the skater and model reflects on his career while already considering “what’s next?”

Aikens became a part of Next Management just over two years ago, solidifying his dedication to modeling and contributing to a larger amalgamation of the skate world with the high-fashion.

Thrasher’s epic Bust or Bail: The Ripper at the Clipper was filled with heavy hitters like T-Funk, Yuto, and Miles, but Raimu Sasaki stole the show with an NBD that you have to see to believe.

The Boards for Bros and Skatepark of Tampa crews headed to St. Petersburg once again to team up with Stoefs Studio for Skating Across Borders Ramp Jam 2023.

The proceeds from the mini ramp jam charity fundraiser will support youth development through skating.

Boards for Bros is a 501(c) nonprofit committed to providing equipment, safe skate spots and youth mentoring in our community.

Stoefs Studios is the brainchild of visual artist Ayden Stoefen based in St. Petersburg.  He found passion in working with impoverished communities, and it became his mission to give back to underprivileged youth through his creativity.
