Dakota sits down with long-time friend Aaron "Jaws" Homoki to talk Misled Youth's lasting inspiration, keeping up with Leo and getting sober. Spend some more time with one of the stars of Emerica's Green in this interview from our February 2020 issue.

Famous for Arto's back lip over a decade ago, the spot has seen only over-the-rail action in recent years after the kinker was knobbed. The school granted us permission to hack off the skate-stoppers for just one day, and the rest is history. Big ups to everyone who BUSTED, especially Alex Midler and his game-changing kicky back lip. Boom!

The original and greatest raw street contest roared back to life at an undisclosed California kinker last weekend. From Mark Suciu to Jamie Foy and every rail ripper in between, this was one for the history books. And Alex Midler… you’re nuts!

There’s an incredible beauty in the next five minutes of pure insanity you’re about to watch. The Hellbomb in Long Beach is fast becoming one of skateboarding’s most debased and demented traditions, and we love it.

Skaters and Halloween enthusiast alike made their way out to the Cherry Park Hill in their best costumes to see what mayhem would unfold.

Dakota comes through with a few clips for his new pro wheel from Bones.

Dakota, Merlino, Aceves, Witkin, Campbell and Thongvivong drop hammers in the Old World.

Dakota has been ripping for years and is a close friend to Emerica so it only made sense for him join the crew.

These dudes slang more hammers than Home Depot. Big ups to the F-Troop.
