On May 6th, 2023 the Atlanta skate scene came together to celebrate the memory of Thomas Taylor—friend, dad, ripping skater and keeper of the flame. Big love to the Stratosphere family. This shit’s forever.

Thomas Taylor was a giant in the Atlanta scene and provided a blueprint for how to live the fullest life as a skateboarder. From his pro career to building a family and fostering the community through his Stratosphere shop, he is remembered by everyone he touched. Read closely as his loved ones reflect on his incredible ride.

Max, Timmy and the StrangeLovers link with the Stratosphere scene to mix up the Midwest and see some southern crust.

Last year was the worst, which means we’ve got an extra-stacked pack of T-Eddys for the skate world’s gaffes and god-awful moments. Plenty of praise in there, too! Don’t get pissed if you made the list.

GT, Brock, Clark, Plunkett, T Gloves and a pack of ATL heavy hitters build up the ‘crete and tear down the street. Grant and Tom Taylor’s part will warm your cold heart. 

Plucked from Stratosphere’s upcoming full-length, Brock gives us an advanced screening of what he’s been cooking down South. Dan Plunkett, David Clark and GT roll through before Justin etches his name on some iconic stone. Putting in the work pays off.
