This summer the Real Skateboards team sent eight of its riders home to film love letters about the streets where they came up for the company’s new “Pushing Since Day One” campaign. Our favorite of the bunch is, of course, this Colorado clip from Ernie Torres, who notes in his interview for the campaign that the best skate spots in Denver are “the ones with no cracks or crackheads” — who can argue? — and gives shoutouts to local shops including 303 Boards, Satellite, the Denver Shop and Community.

Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
Those outfits — and a number of other Colorado shops — are now carrying Torres’s limited edition Pushing Colorado Since Day One “capsule,” which includes a skateboard deck, T-shirt, grip tape and sticker.
