Lots of Panorama, lots of J.P’s vid, Torey’s back on Plan B…
Have a great weekend ❤️
“yea this took some time” — Spezzatura’s “PANORAMA 4” Video
A friend of ours was recently talking about his young son falling in love with skateboarding, and happened to mention that all his kid does is binge Ratz and Panorama videos. To take it further, this friend works in the fashion industry, thus finding himself in Milan semi-often, and his kid is constantly begging to come along: “just leave me at Centrale.” (His son is probably not old enough to be left alone at an Italian train station all day.)
Not-Outdated — J.P. Blair’s “What Did You Expect?” Video
What Did You Expect is J.P. Blair‘s first full-length video since 2012’s seminal Outdated. (Let’s call “420 Vid” an interlude for the sake of the exercise.)
Was tempted to call Outdated a Jersey video, but given a cursory glimpse of the roster back then — this latest one might be …more Jersey?

The Do Or Die D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn is holding a GoFundMe for their next series of builds. If you don’t know about the space, Jenkem did a video profile of the crew earlier this year.
You gotta wonder what the reply rate would be if you hit your widest-spanning group chat suggesting you skate a …concreted-barrier-turned-spine under a bridge in Pittsburgh that you gotta shovel snow off of — at night. Those are the sorts of lifers found in Wyatt Nicholas’ One Jagged Loaf video out of Pittsburgh, with parts from Jay Pitser, Alex Nivison and Eli Campbell. Love the nollie flips in this one.
‘What Did You Expect?’ — A J.P. Blair Video Premiere Recap

The urban legend goes something like: if you say “Fred Gall” in the mirror five times, ten years later, J.P. Blair drops a new video.
Met with some friends to watch the Knicks this past week — many of whom have fallen out of the habit of skateboarding regularly. They had asked what was going on this weekend, and I’d mention J.P. Blair is premiering a video, half-expecting them to maybe not have a sharp mental rolodex of skate videographer names. Everyone would say: “Outdated J.P. Blair!?”
Time certainly flies, but great indie videos endure to the point where people who aren’t on board much these days have fond memories of one of the 2010s’ best — just as much as people still very much in the skate trenches do.
Yesterday, he premiered What Did You Expect, a HD, Jersey-heavy full-length that is due to make its way online this week. (At least that’s what J.P. said.)
