Edmund Bacon, former Philadelphia city planner and co-designer of Love Park, skated there to protest the city’s hostility to skateboarding at age 92. Love's rebirth in Malmö, Sweden is an act of "cultural continuity" which seems right out of Bacon's playbook 📖 — skatebylines.com/2025/04/08/p...

Spent yesterday with a skater in his fifties, spotting traffic for the trick a young, trans skater was trying. Old skater has known young skater since they were a tiny little kid on a scooter. Lifetime stuff. Kept having to correct himself on their pronouns. Did in fact correct himself every time.

When a spot is destroyed how is its legacy preserved in a tangible form, beyond images and stories? The answer may be “Spolia”, an architectural concept which reincorporates materials, “Turning rubble into something both relic and resurrected," writes Dom Teoh 📝 — skatebylines.com/2025/04/08/p...
