Leo Romero. Figgy. Spanky. Stu Kirst. Do I have your attention? Every one of these guys—and honestly, the entire remaining Emerica squad—are pure, no-nonsense, unfiltered skateboarders. Stu might be the newest addition, but Figgy, Spanky, and Leo? Certified heavyweights. Household names for countless skaters around the world.

And they’re still all in! Take Leo, for example—without singling anyone out or playing favorites, the dude just keeps getting better. Every spot he skates is straight up wild. It's the stuff most of us wouldn’t even consider skateable. Anyways, I'm blabbering.

Emerica just dropped a new edit by Matt King—"Fire In Da Sky" and it's definitely worth a watch. It's quick, powerful, hard-hitting. Classic Emerica. Get stoked:

Okay, I've praised Leo, but Figgy continues to relentlessly crush every spot he skates all the same. We've all recently seen Spanky take his skating in a refined, creative direction that feels entirely his own. And Stu? That dude’s a straight-up beast. No other way to put it.

As far as Emerica is concerned, strictly as a skate shoe brand, I will say this—going up against the all-mighty giants (you know the ones) isn’t easy, but Emerica is still out here doing it right. Real skate shoes. A team that rips. What more do you want? No gimmicks—just skateboarding, the way it should be. I’ll back them forever.

The edit might be short and sweet, but it packs a serious punch. Skateboarding is a million different things to a million different people, but what these dudes are doing is undeniable. No debate.

Since you're here, have you seen Spanky's latest signature Emerica shoe? Tap that post above and learn more. We need another Emerica video. Anyone else agree? I'll take that as a yes. Peep the latest Emerica kicks here!
