23 years ago, Leo Fitzpatrick cemented his position as a cultural icon after starring as Telly in Larry Clark’s Kids. He was only 17 when the movie came out. Since then, he’s had parts in critically acclaimed films and television series including: Bully, The Wire, and Sons of Anarchy. You can catch him currently alongside Jonah Hill and Emma Stone in Netflix’s Maniac. Leo has also made a name for himself in the art world as the curator at Marlborough Contemporary in Chelsea. Through it all, he has remained true to his roots by keeping a close connection with skateboarding. He just might be the perfect person to illustrate how all of the worlds mentioned above intersect in a very unique and organic way. Lee Smith gets the full story from Leo in Episode 04 of Mission Statement. It’s a good one to say the least.

Spencer Hamilton has been prolific over the past year or so. His hard work has paid off in the form of signing a deal with NB#, which is revealed at the 55:04 mark of the latest episode of The Bunt.

I’ve been loving the Tiago. You know how it is. When you get to your 30s, your feet are bruised and battered. You need some protection. I don’t know how these kids skate in these thin-ass shoes. Ever since I’ve been skating the Tiagos, I’ve been feeling pretty good. Yeah, I just recently signed on with New Balance.

Good to hear that Spenny landed on his feet (pun intended) after the demise of Supra.
