Pushing Plywood is a collection of of homies, companies, and hoodlums based in San Francisco that skateboard for the love of skateboarding, putting out monthly edits showcasing all the simple pleasures that come along with skating with the homies. “It’s about you and your crew fully enjoying the act of killing time and dodging life’s requirements/standards through the act of pushing around on a piece of wood.” Says Travis Knapp-Prasek, the resident photographer/wanderer of the group.

The monthly edits are around 6-8 minutes long and drop within the first week of every month on their youtube channel and are viewed coast to coast and worldwide. The vibe you get from watching these clips is the fun we so easily forget skateboarding can be. Thus the motto “keep pushing.” There’s footage of anyone that wants to get in front of one of the many cameras they have roaming the four corners of the bay daily.

Each month the crew gets bigger and the tricks get gnarlier. The movement is only enhanced through their affiliates Leftside Skateboards and Swarmlife.net. “Skateboarding is a gnarly, beautiful thing.” Says Ron Rodriguez, the mastermind/editor of Pushing Plywood.

Ron is a strong supporter of community, skateboarding, and music and his edits combine these sensations perfectly. “Pushing Plywood, to me is the universal bond that we all share. It is the connection that makes us brothers and sisters. You can push plywood all over the world and not speak another language but you have this universal bond with anyone who rides and is down for life.
