Clothing that bears the name of a city near or far has become a closet staple for many consumers in recent years, evolving from impulse purchases to mainstream fashion.

It's a great way to start off the day. He played volleyball as a freshman, but he said of surfing, 'It's great to connect with other schools and through surfing.' Winning the surfer of the year award 'really meant a lot,' he said.

Liu, who walked away from the sport four years ago, made an amazing comeback that concluded with a gold medal. In fact, she was the first American woman to win an individual Olympic medal in the sport since Sasha Cohen in 2006.

It was one of four skate parks being created or revamped as part of a city initiative, and the only one that proposed building an entirely new space rather than replacing an existing skate park or asphalt rink. Intended as the city's flagship, it was also by far the largest, in the city and regionally, tied with the Lynch Family Skatepark in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is the largest skate park on the East Coast.

According to multiple media reports, 66-year-old Kurt Van Dyke died last Saturday in Cahuita, a town near the country's coastline along the Caribbean Sea. The Tico Times, an English language Costa Rican newspaper, reported that Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Agency received a report about the incident at 10:50 a.m. Van Dyke's body was discovered with signs of asphyxiation and multiple stab wounds, according to a preliminary examination by the investigative agency.

Streetdog BMX isn't trying to revive the glory days of BMX games, nor is it chasing mass appeal. It's a deliberately fiddly, skill-focused take on BMX riding, aimed squarely at players who enjoy mastery more than spectacle. And like real-life riding, that first crash is the key moment - because you're either going to toss the fucking thing in the trash, or grind like a madman and try again.

"We had just moved to Seattle, and I started drawing. Like every day I drew the commuters on the bus, I would draw the mountains, the buildings," remembered Campanario.

Fisher marked the first time Moscone Center hosted something enormous like this; I went on the second night of a two-night takeover, December 20. Operationally, it ran surprisingly smoothly for a first-time venue. Crowd-wise: a lot of phones, a lot of jerseys, a lot of people filming drops they will absolutely never watch again. It felt like a first "rave" moment for a lot of folks since it was an 18+ event.

Thousands of cheering fans surround the ice at the Honda Center. The arena is loud, packed with fans in Anaheim Ducks jerseys. As the puck drops and the action starts, players zoom back and forth until - boom! A shot, and the Ducks score. But when the music hits for the first goal of the game, it's not the typical "We Will Rock You" by Queen. It's "Come Out and Play" by local heroes, and one of Orange County's most influential punk bands, the Offspring.

The party included food trucks parked alongside 9th Street, as well as a stage at the corner of 8th and Washington Streets where DJ LadyRyan emceed. The program included performances by DJ Veyn, Oakland multidisciplinary artist Jen Johns, and Oakland-based hip-hop and jazz collective Sol Development accompanied by Richmond rapper, DJ and producer Mani Draper. LaRussell headlined with the Oakland-based Collab Choir.

Olympic gold medalist Picabo Street was spotted on the slopes in Italy this week giving Snoop Dogg a skiing lesson, and the results are as delightful as you'd hope. Street, one of the most celebrated American alpine racers in history-a World Cup champion and 1998 Olympic downhill gold medalist-has been sharing her expertise with friends and fans while attending the Milano-Cortina Games.

There is every chance that 2026 will be the year you see your first pair of Gardana gardening clogs in the wild. In fact, if you spend much time on TikTok, or live in Brooklyn, you've probably already been seeing them for months, if not years. I saw my first pair a few weeks ago. I watched a dad dropping his kids off at school in head-to-toe Carhartt, a pair of Gardanas peeping out from below his trousers like a shy frog.

By all accounts, things didn't run as smoothly for Mikko Rehnberg and Arttu Heikkinen filming their newest street movie Another Brick On The Wall compared to last years epic Shift. But injuries, lack of snow, travelling and spot battles haven't stopped them pulling another banger out of the bag. Featuring: Mikko Rehnberg, Karoliina Rehnberg & Rasmus Rönkä this one shakes off the festive cobwebs and kicks 2026 into gear perfectly.

In some ways, Shaun White's next trip to the Winter Olympics might be the toughest. Retired for four years and now trying to shape his sport from outside of the halfpipe he once commanded, White says he fully expects his upcoming trip to Italy the country where he won the first of his three gold medals to be an emotional ride, maybe with some unexpected turns.

"This community doesn't really have an event like this in the States," Wesley told SnowBrains. "There are small gatherings here and there, but nothing you can count on happening every year. I want this to be something annual-something that brings people together."
