To bring some laughter and provide a break from those tedious family holiday Zoom calls, we at Jenkem decided to playfully mock year-end lists. We’ve compiled our 4th annual skateboarding superlatives, poking fun at a few friends and skaters. This list is all in good fun, so we hope no one takes it too seriously!
We put a lot of thought into who to celebrate, shame, and gently reprimand. Our main goal is that you have a good laugh and get ready for another year full of skateboarding antics. If you find yourself getting genuinely upset about being on this list, maybe it’s time to lighten up a bit.
