Keith did it all with power and style. This epic memorial part speaks to the soul.

Keith Hufnagel taught us all about power, style and finesse through his approach to skateboarding, business and life. His gift lives on with everything he created and we are all better people for the inspiration he gave us. Ride In peace, HUF. We love you and we thank you. —Ando, from FTC

The word legend has entered our everyday lexicon to the point that we've lost sight of its huge power and rarity. Keith Hufnagel defined the word.

The Brooklyn Banks is one of the most iconic skate spots ever. Take a roll down memory lane with the locals and legends who have contributed to its legacy, then sign the petition to save The Banks. From the August ’20 issue of the mag. 

R.B. Umali’s tapes catalog major players from numerous decades, from OGs like Harold, Clyde, Javier and Huf to contemporaries like Westgate and Ishod. We’re forever indebted to The Banks.

Carroll, Koston, Karl, Jovontae, Chico and legend after legend go off in Meza’s SF masterpiece from ‘96 that inspired generations of street skaters. This is canon. 

Skateboarding's glitterati stormed LA and the Big Apple to soak up some of that Supreme glow and bask in the triumph of Bill Strobeck's Blessed. Warning – there will be hugs. Congrats, everybody!

Real skateboards and Keith Hufnagel celebrated their 25-year relationship together with a raging party, complete with a photo show, pro-board retrospective, magazine-cover archive and a high-ollie contest. Congrats on the silver anniversary, gents!

To celebrate 25 years a party was in order, complete with a photo show, free beer and tacos, a high-ollie contest and a raffle for some limited-edition boards and photos on display.
