Had multiple correspondences across the tip desk this week being like, “This better be in Top 10 this week!” for a very specific trick, and guess what? Obviously it’s #1.
Otherwise, don’t forget to admire the scenery after you admire the tre flip, and salute to those bold souls charging at head-high out ledges.
P.S. Brendan Gilliam is premiering his new video at 210 Cook Street in Brooklyn tonight.
Have a good one :)

When we were doing a compilation of all of Nick Michel’s clips from our “For Nothing” Vans trips — on the occasion of him getting The Cover™ — a few people asked for a Diego edition. While doing the cutdowns for Diego’s Five Favorite Parts earlier this week, that suggestion floated back to mind. Great idea!

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.
