“h” is a new, eighteen-minute homie video by Blaine Williams that’s mainly filmed in New York, with a sick part from Aidan Spencer to close it out. The fact the Polish Park planter-side ledges have endured for so long despite having three-feet of landing space is reason enough to never give up on your dreams ❤️

Casper Brooker has a great interview over on the Angel & Z podcast.

“So it was a little bit of everything: disappointment in myself, a little bit of wanting to try something new, and a lot of not thinking about it.” Spanky speaks about reinventing the way he skates and approaches video parts in the latest installment of Village Psychic + Ian Browning’s “Rules of Skateboarding” series. Spanky was also a recent guest on the How Long Gone podcast.

Chris “Mango” Milic has been in our hearts and minds for a long time. He has been a steady flow of fun skateboarding since his big break on Slap Magazine’s skateboard reality TV innovator, One in A Million. We may be familiar with the ensuing innovative video parts or Frog — but who really is Chris and what really is Frog? Turns out, no one’s ever really sat him down to ask.

How About Those Orange Shorts — An Interview With Evan Wasser

📝 Intro + Interview by Adam Abada

If you’re born right into the middle of the hotbed of skateboard industry and history, I could forgive you if you turn away from it all. Instead, Culver City, Los Angeles County native Evan Wasser managed to live alongside it, receiving a skate education by osmosis that’s in his bones rather than his head. At only 23-years-old, he’s been skating as long as I have. He turned heads last year with his shared Frog part and has popped up in a bunch of in-the-moment New York edits, so we wanted to get him on the record.

‘Let’s Film A Montage’

No way there is a single person who checks this website and hasn’t seen the Tyshawn part yet, correct? Photo above by Dan Zaslavsky 📷

“Trust me, I tried to shoot it without getting down there.” New York magazine’s real-estate publication, Curbed, interviewed Atiba for a feature about Tyshawn’s Thrasher cover kickflip. (Though, based on some more precise intel, the gap definitely seems to be more than nine feet as outlined in the above article.)

Cooper Winterson’s new video, The Sex Emo Promo is half filmed around the vicinity of Cadman Plaza, and includes appearances from Nelly Morville, Evan Wasser, and a bunch more.

Speaking of Wasser, him and Nick Michel’s Frog for Thunder Trucks part by Daniel Dent is beautiful.
