SKATEBOARDING, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER INDUSTRY, HAS A LOT OF INCOME DISPARITIES AND INEQUALITIES.

Static III "New Jersey Minute" Segment w/ Mark Wetzel & Steve Durante

Theories of Atlantis just uploaded this bangup part from the 2007 dvd "Static III" showcasing two underground New Jersey shredders, Mark Wetzel and Steve Durante as they defile some filthy industrial spots from New Jersey to Barcelona. These guys never got the credit they deserved for how influential their skating has been to the underground so we wanted to remind you by bringing this part back, 13 years late.
