Took a way overdue trip to @kingswell_losfeliz yesterday to visit some of my best friends in the world; DJ and Patrick.
DJ and Melch were a vital part of a small skate team I had back in the mid 2000’s for a brand called Veece (Melcher is wearing a striped Veece tee in the BS hubba photo) and we remained friends ever since. Having to dismantle that team and that call I made to break the news to them was one of the hardest things I had ever done in my life💔 These guys broke their backs for me and I’m forever grateful. Sorry I let so much time go by since I’ve come by boys.. life got in the way, but time to create more memories and hopefully some amazing goods.
Love seeing all the continued success and how important you guys have become to the skateboarding community & also TY for the free deck! Makes me feel sponsored 🥹🥰
If you care about skateboarding listen to DJ’s @thenineclub he’s on a war path with Greg Carrol to protect the industry and lifestyle we love so much, I hope I can join and help in any form 🙏🏽

Tune in tomorrow 8/25/25 at 6am (pst) when we sit down with DJ Chavez (@dirtychavez ) to discuss how business is doing at his shops @kingswell_losfeliz & @kingswell_nobhill , how he deals with costumers coming in with stuff they bought online, how well are boards selling, communicating with brands, the lack of skateboard trade shows, hard goods not selling, why board manufacturers lowered their minimums, how do we get the industry talking to one another again and much more!

It’s with huge tears of joy and the most full heart that I write to tell you all that we are OPENING OUR 2ND KINGSWELL LOCATION IN NEW MEXICO under the name of @kingswell_nobhill ❤️💛 This is happening because of @noach___ who you all knew locally from FILTER SKATEBOARDS unfortunately closing his doors. Noah and the whole Filter Family were creating nothing but Magic for Albuquerque Skateboarding and it didn’t sit right with me to see that disappear. Skateboarding gave me EVERYTHING and to be able to give it back to the city that raised me is an HONOR. Please follow and support. SOO MUCH LOVE. @kingswell_losfeliz #kingswellnobhill #albuquerque #skateboarding #supporocal
