One of our favorite European skate crews …no, wait actually, two of our favorite European skate crews (!) — an amalgamation of Victor Campillo and his Marseille-based manual lords and the Swiss-based OG.2000 collective — came to New York last year. For many of them, it was their first time in the city: ten skaters, one crib with one bathroom, and a month to stack. Classic conundrum.

The best parts can just be wallies and cool manuals [and a fat nollie inward], just as the best parts can also be a minute long. The latest Five Faves is with a QS fave ;)
Like the old proverb says: “A man who goes #viral for front nosesliding a curve is bound by fate to return and front crook it.”
While we have written in the past about the radiant element of surprise being one of the most fun features of Gus’ skateboarding, anyone familiar with ancient philosophy should not have been surprised by him returning for the crook.
Have been laughing about this for a week straight. Via Tao.
The winter’s been so fucked that Courthouse is a snowboard spot now.
“It is my last name. It is not a stage name.” Skate Jawn interviewed Elisa Martini.
The #4 was actually in the GX Colombia video, but is a part of that very 2020s phenomenon of the iPhone angle somehow, sometimes hitting harder than the proper camera one. He posted it last week and, yeah.
Lots of phone clips this week, and definitely a classic “on what planet is #2 not #1 …oh”-weeks. (And yeah, the stage is a street spot because it’s unmodified since the courthouse became a sanctioned skate plaza, don’t be rude.) The #1, jfc. Left the slam out.
45 tomorrow! Plus, the rain seems to have dealt with 80% of the snow. Have a good one.
