Half-Pipes

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Our sister site Curbed notes that model and perennial Racked obsession Erin Wasson lives in what sounds like a thirteen-year-old boy's dream house: "We put in the half-pipe the summer I moved in. There was a small skate shop down the road, and a lot of the boys who worked there would come over and sit around and work on it slowly. One day it was done. Now tons of people from the neighborhood come by. We fire up the grill and everybody hangs out and skates." (And you thought we'd make it through the day without a single Wasson mention!) [Curbed]
