An ender as a #1 always feels like an anti-climactic way to go, but there was really only one thing it could be.
#latepass on #2, which is an absolutely nuts thing to just throw on the ‘gram, but wow.
Otherwise, a light-footed front nose dismount, a heavy-footed switch tre stomp, and the wrong way on Three Up Three Down.
Have a great weekend.

If you watch Pedro’s two-minute iPhone part that Thrasher posted a few days ago, it’s hard not to wonder what inspires his eye for spots (and to continue putting his back through those slams.) Turns out the answer — like for so many others — is old Grant Taylor and Cardiel parts ❤️
Bridges play an outsize role in skateboarding. Whether its the Brooklyn [Bridge] Banks, the I-95 overpass that covers FDR Skatepark, or the Burnside Bridge, we have extracted infinite joy from the fact that the powers-that-be generally do not give a shit about what you do under a bridge.
And no bridge has risen to such rapid prominence in skateboarding as the new Kosciuszko Bridge, which was completed in 2017. (If someone had a gun to your head and made you spell “Kosciuszko” out loud, you’re a goner too, right?)

Another Tompkins Construction Date Change: The park is now being closed off for renovations and re-asphalting on Monday, October 2nd, exactly one week from today. (And the deli across the street isn’t even a deli anymore, as of a few days ago: they got rid of the entire counter for a mini smoke shop. No more sandwiches, grill or smoothies. End of an era.)
“Mainstream skateboarding finally caught on to the fact that when you’re driving to the spot, you’re passing all this other stuff that’s so much more interesting. Stuff people can skate more creatively. And you can make a far more interesting skate video by focusing on that.” New Zealand’s Manual magazine caught up with Josh Stewart to talk about putting himself through another Static video.
“BURNT” is the latest montage by Christian Kerr, featuring the continued evolution of Gabe Tennen’s tech-lord career arc, and the return of the Duane Reade benches.
Exemplary fakie front crook form, third-eye-open wallrides, a line that would make Valdez proud, and one of the year’s finest noseslides. There was some contentious chatter in the lunchroom about whether or not that fade-away after the backside flip was iffy or not, but ultimately, it feels like a make.
Have a fantastic weekend 🐬
