Skate And The City

Terry Kennedy and Cyril Jackson kick things off on this new episode of Skate And The City with a session at the downtown LA office parks. After a run-in with a city bus, TK gets a fresh setup at America’s Best Choice skate warehouse. Skateline host Gary Rogers talks about his “shop talk” style of delivering skate news and rumors on his LA-based show and skater Felix Arguelles meets up with Terry at the Staples Center and talks about how skateboarders are part of the culture of LA. And then TK and Cyril shut down the Staples Center.

Pro skater and all-around incredible human Terry Kennedy brings you inside the skateboarding culture of Los Angeles in his new show from Network A, Skate And The City. From where it all started in Venice Beach to Downtown LA hotspots and into the streets of Long Beach. Terry teams up with pro skaters hitting up LA’s best skateparks, musicians with ties to skating, artists, and streetwear moguls with a heavy skate influence. Skate And The City hits the streets next week right here on Network A.

The Los Angeles series includes Terry Kennedy, Kevin Romar, Tristan Funkhauser, Kid Ink, Stevie Williams, Cyril Jackson, Felix Arguelles, Chad Tim Tim, Gary Rogers, Venice Skatepark, Stoner Park, Fairfax Avenue, Belmont Plaza, and much more.

Terry Kennedy is a man of many talents: pro skater, music executive, streetwear designer. And starting August 20, TK will add a new role: host of Network A's "Skate And The City." The new show will take viewers around Los Angeles to see the people and locations that make up skate culture in the City of Angels.

We caught up with Terry for this exclusive interview where he talks about the new show, his hometown and the role that music plays in his life.

There's also much more from TK in store this week as part of Network A's Terry Kennedy Takeover. On Tuesday, we'll bring you TK's favorite skateparts. On Wednesday, we've got the premiere of "Skate And The City." Terry will share his favorite music videos on Thursday. And to wrap things up on Friday, Terry will reveal his gear essentials.

In skateboarding, the video part still reigns supreme. It remains the primary basis for judging skate talent. Sure, Nyjah Huston wins a lot of Street League events, but those cannot top the incredible skating in his recent [Fade To Black part]1.

So when a top pro skater like Terry Kennedy selects his 3 favorite video parts of all time, it's worth taking notes. We asked the "Skate And The City" host to do just that, and as a bonus, we added one of our favorite video parts of Terry, from the "Baker 3" video.

There's much more from TK in store this week as part of Network A's Terry Kennedy Takeover. Yesterday we brought you 10 questions with TK. On Wednesday, we've got the premiere episode of "Skate And The City." Terry will share his favorite music videos on Thursday. And to wrap things up on Friday, Terry will reveal his gear essentials.

On the new show "Skate And The City," pro skater and host Terry Kennedy shows how music, fashion, and skateboarding all intertwine on the streets of Los Angeles. Terry rolls around the streets of L.A. with skaters Kevin Romar and Tristan Funkhouser. From meeting up with one of the original Dogtown Z-Boys Nathan Pratt to stopping by Kid Ink's new music video shoot to hanging with Kevin Durant to chatting skate brands and streetwear with Stevie Williams, this is what Terry's Los Angeles is all about.

Skate legend and host Terry Kennedy shows how skateboarding is uniquely connected with the cities where it takes place.

Skateboarders look at the cities they skate differently than most pedestrians. To the average observer a handrail next to a set of stairs is nothing special, but to a skater it has enormous potential. Skate And The City host Terry Kennedy understands this better than most. The skate legend from Long Beach, CA will take you on a tour through urban environments and show you not just the skate spots, but also the cultural landmarks, from streetwear boutiques to musical venues.

What would a Terry Kennedy Takeover be without his gear essentials? This week's TK Takeover for Skate And The City wraps up with Terry giving us all a lesson on how to stay fly like the Fly Society honcho himself.

Make sure to check out episode 1 of Skate And The City and stay tuned for episode 2 coming up next week.
