Nothing more beautiful than seeing today’s brightest minds outsmart the skatestoppers installed by yesterday’s dimmest. “Hold On To Those Gifts” is the latest edit from Neema Joorabchi and his crew (Jasper Stieve, Noah Singleton, Zac Gavin, et al.)

Chase Walker made a five-minute edit of leftover footy from Late Nite Stars’ O video. Def some Zak Anders clips in there that exceed most people’s criteria of “throwaway” though ;)

John Valenti has a new video out entitled Free Time. Includes parts from Dustin Eggeling, Cody Lucas, Taylor Nawrocki, Chris Jata, James Sayres (switch flip back noseblunt?!) + others. Heavy on the New York footy, but tons of Euro travel as well :)

Weekend Viewing — Hjalte Halberg’s Dancer Part

Daily News April 5th, 2024 · 3:38 pm · 2

Hjalte Halberg just dropped a short and sweet part to announce a new drop from his brand, Dancer. (If you’re uninitiated to the Dancer universe, Slam City Skates interviewed Hjalte about it last May.)

Like Ville before him, Mr. Halberg seems to be releasing the leftovers from the last days of his decade-plus Polar tenure — clearing the proverbial backlog of the logos no longer paying his bills. (As pointed out on the ‘Gram yesterday, we’re a long way off from the days when you can skate for one company, and comfortably shoot photos with visible conflicts of interest emblazoned across the bottom of your board.)

Avid QS readers know that we are big fans of a longass line. (No, not in the “my favorite restaurant just got TikTok’d” sense…) This week, there are a lot of longass lines. Because what else is a skateboard if not a [non-motor] vehicle / method of transportation? There are circular lines with many pushes, lines that are so fast they require zero pushes, and others that start one way and end as a surprise. We can’t just be putting every NBD done down Wallenburg in the countdown every week. We cashed that token for 2024 already. Annual Hollywood High token is still un-used though!

Rest in Peace to James Hardy ❤ ️

That’s Hollywood, Baby

Definitely remember this one being a crowd favorite at the premiere: Kevin Taylor’s part in Static 6 is now online to commemorate K.T’s new spot on the Hopps team.

Jake Baldini becomes the first person to ever return a purchase and replenish his balance in the new installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Shout out to Jake and his crew for that bank-to-ledge at Mosquito Beach.

“I do remember chatting to him when he was pranging out about having to switch flip the London Bridge stairs, that’s quite funny. He was pranging out the night before, I just remember thinking you don’t actually have to do this.” Lev Tanju nerded out over his favorite pieces of U.K. skate lore for Slam City Skates’ “Visuals” series.

A Down By Law round-up, the most unexpected of kickflip crooks, a 540 on street ;) + a no-push line so nice that you’ve just gotta run it back twice.

This one got filed a lil’ early so a few later-in-the-week videos had to get deferred.

Slow news week around here, but back to it next week :) have a good one.
