Coliseum began as a skate shop in Melrose, Massachusetts, and evolved into a creative nucleus where skating, filming, photography, and editing were treated as equal disciplines. Before skateboarding lived online, it lived on VHS tapes, contact sheets, and long nights spent editing footage.
The Coliseum Video released in 1999, credited to Matt Roman and Arty, documented the foundation of the scene and established the visual language that would soon influence skateboarding globally.
At Coliseum Skate, we believe that skateboarding is more than just a sport, it's a lifestyle. Our vision is to inspire and empower skateboarders of all ages and skill levels to pursue their passion and achieve their goals.

Coliseum was never about fitting a mold.
It was about recognizing something rare in people who didn’t look alike, skate alike, or come from the same place — but shared the same hunger.
PJ Ladd was precision and obsession — architecture on concrete. Ryan Gallant brought balance, flow, and unteachable style.
Alexis Sablone embodied fearless creativity and forward vision. Jereme Rogers was raw energy, high stakes, and ambition. Happy was heart — skateboarding for joy.
Southie represented grit and street-earned confidence.
Baby Schizo was originality — impossible to replicate.
King of Freestyle pushed experimentation beyond convention. Colin Fisk was consistency — the glue that held it together.
They didn’t look like a traditional team. They were misfits that worked.
What started in a small shop became careers, businesses, influence — and for some, millions. Not by chasing hype, but by earning everything the hard way.
Coliseum didn’t manufacture stars.
It built an environment where talent survived long enough to become legacy.
Our community of skateboarders is what makes us who we are. We are dedicated to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where skateboarders can connect, share their experiences, and support each other.
