Skateboarding Keeps The Crew Together: Jayson Colón

A skate crew’s history is usually hidden in parking lots, old photos, and half-remembered road trips until somebody finally sits down and tells it right. We’re joined by Jason Cologne, formerly of Crown Skateboards, plus the homie Aaron Mullen for a loose, story-heavy hang that connects Puerto Rico roots, Westside Jacksonville sessions, and the specific kind of mayhem that seems to follow skaters wherever they go.We talk about how Jason gets started, the early years at spots like Kona and Orange Park, and the contests and missions that shaped his skating. Aaron drops classic crew lore, and we get into how Crown Skateboards evolves when the torch passes hands and the brand shifts to Jacksonville. If you care about the Jacksonville skate scene, local skate shop sponsorships, and what it takes to build a real community around a park, this one has plenty of details that never show up in highlight clips.We also zoom out to what skateboarding looks like now: the insane progression, the Olympics effect, and why video parts still hit harder than most contest formats. Then we come back to the roots with DIY backyard setups, salvaged rails, and the simple truth that skateboarding keeps pulling people back in, even when work, heat, and family life make sessions harder to come by. Hit play, share it with a friend from your old crew, and subscribe, rate, and review so more skaters can find the show.
