Rafael Aleev / Bump to bs5050 / p. Gerardo Mendoza

This is a reminder from your friends at Midwest Represent that Spring has sprung (for the most part) and you should be out riding your skateboards…photos of Rafael Aleev taken by Feruki last summer in Chicago.  Keep an eye on this kid, there are plenty more bangers coming soon.

If you are from Chicago and down with Uprise, you are probably skilled on a skateboard.

Rafael Aleev is no exception…expect good things from this kid in the future!
