OneWheels, those elusive, skateboard-adjacent alternate mobility devices, have existed for just over 10 years. And believe it or not, Salt Lake City has its own OneWheel shop, 801Wheel, which helps make the city “fertile ground for the new and burgeoning sport,” says SLUG Contributing Writer Tyson Call.

Ben Kweller is having a sad dad summer. He lost his 16-year-old son, Dorian, two years ago. Kweller tackled the pain head-on by writing his latest album Cover The Mirrors to help him navigate his grief.

“I’m in this phase of feeling like things are really meant to be and it’s written in the stars," he says. "That’s part of my acceptance of it — just submitting to God.”

Jurassic World Rebirth is a lesson in what happens when we keep trying to revive things that have long been left dead, and it seems that neither the characters, nor Hollywood is taking in those lessons. Bringing back the original writers of the beloved Jurassic Park, Jurassic World Rebirth goes back to the basics of what made the first film a classic. Complete with snappy dialogue and fan-pleasing callbacks, Rebirth gives all the action and dino-scares we’ve come to expect from this franchise. At times a spectacle, other times questionable, it is clear to see that this franchise will keep making money ‘til our own extinction.
