A look over to the right of your screen is evidence enough that we have been neglectful of one thing… We haven’t been as up to date with the Skateboarding category as we would like to be.

This is why it gives me great pleasure to welcome one of the most passionate skateboarders I have ever met, Ruben Najera. Previously known as “Nar”, we have now bestowed the name “Studdard” upon him until the moment he is no longer the 5ones rookie.

Ruben’s bio says it all, “he lives and he breathes skateboarding.” We have posted his inaugural beat and invite commentary from all. We’re stoked beyond belief to have him with us.

Welcome, Ruben Najera! (yes, that’s him in the pic)
