History

Jenkem was founded in 2011 by Ian Michna in response to a perceived lack of unique content in skateboard media.[1] It first attracted attention after publishing an interview with professional skateboarder Jereme Rogers and its articles have since been mentioned in the New York Times, Vice, Gawker, and XXL.[6][7][8] [9] It has published interviews with the professional skateboarders Andrew Reynolds, Mike Carroll, Bam Margera, and Marc Johnson and been one of a few magazines to cover LGBT professionals.[10][11] Other notable work includes interviews with Dan Mancina, a blind skateboarder, Ali Jusovic, who skateboards on his knees, a history of the decline of skateboard plazas within the United States, and a video of Kanye West skateboarding.[12][13][14][15]
