By Born Ugly putting it down in their magazine and promoting the DIY across the nation. Local photographers like Brent O’ Donnell and Nick Ghobashi helping define it through out the interweb.

And of course, the growing crew of people that are out everywhere taking over.

The latest testament is Skateboarder Magazine’s cover feature on Richmond golden boy Gilbert Crockett. He reps hard. via theblaaahg.com

What’s been eating Gilbert Crockett? That’s what we we’ve been wondering since his recent sponsor changes and move back to Virginia.

Also, make sure to check out Born Ugly’s interview with Gilbert Crockett in their first issue.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an authority and there are people that would consider the scene legit for a long time. I am basing my opinion on this new information reaching the general masses therefore making it real for people outside of the hundreds that know already in Richmond.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
