“Here we go again! Back in Barcelona for another week full of skating & exploring the streets of this incredibly vibrant city. This time, we were lucky enough to link up with some of the local Barca residents for a week full of laughs, smiles, beers, cheers, and an endless supply of those dreamy Barca spots”!

“Like a warm memory, looking back on these clips I can still feel the soft winter sun on my skin, hear the sounds of the city streets, smell all the smells (good and bad lol) and feel the bustling energy of this incredible place… also my toes still hurt from that damn tiled floor (iykyk!)”.

“Hope y’all enjoy the vibes. Don’t forget to crank that volume to 11! Endless love to Isac, Jack, Adriaan, Ines, Jaro, Sven & everyone else we met along the way who made this trip one for the books”!

Back in February, the crew and I ventured over to Europe for Winterclash 2023, followed by a week of street skating in Barcelona. Battling the same Winterclash flu you probably caught, and some lingering jet lag, we arrived in Barca feeling hella dusty but excited to finally see what this infamous skate wonderland had to offer… and it did not disappoint! - Robert Kellett.

Featuring: James McErlain, Jamie Sims, Nat Ogden & Vashti Rufus Wilson.

“As for myself, my leg was bruised from knee to toes & twice the normal size after tearing the muscle of my shin (fun!) at Winterclash the week before, So I didn’t put my skates on once the entire time! Still, I’m grateful I was able to walk around, explore, share some epic memories with my best mates and film them getting jiggy with it in the streets! Here’s what we managed to capture during our time there - Went for a different vibe with the music on this one but hope y’all dig it! Headphones recommended!”.

Music: Cochemea - Mitote, Peaches - F the pain away.

Back at it again, hotter than a beanie on a hat rack. Falling short of 2 fast 2 furious, Mantra 2 is all about family. Skate family is important and taking a couple of weeks to work on a project together reminds us that even if we get stuck, our skate bro will always be there to help. During this time we push ourselves by taking on a better mantra towards skating. So sit down and have a frothy yeast thick shake and enjoy.
