The Seward Park Ledges Are Done

As of this morning, the three recycled plastic ledges at Seward Park are gone.

Though you have likely been witness to plenty of debates between skater and filmer about not wanting to film here and how it is not “interesting” enough, when looked at against the short supply of low bust, sequential ledges with ends in lower Manhattan, having this as a fail safe will be missed. It was nice having a street spot to warm up at or wind down around the corner from Labor, where non-skating passerbys and acquaintences can tempt you with extracurricular offers through the chainlink fence.

No clue what’s going here instead. A guess? Probably nothing.

For You … Only The Best

2025? Waxing ledges was contagious. 2026? Hell Rides are contagious.

Solid bit of New York footage, including a marathon line at the Museum, in Denny Pham’s globe-trotting “Intersections” part that went live on Free last week.

Someone at the Late Nite Stars video department saw that Jiro concoction and decided it’s a good time to finally drop the montage of their crew on the “Stars of Midnight” obstacle. Cooper Winterson opens up the LNS montage on the most Cooper Winterson obstacle ever, and the set-ups only get wackier from there ;)

“I would love some …poke bowl.” Petar Stantchev spends some Euros on Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Didn’t know Barcelona just had wild boars running around the hills.

#QSTOP10 — July 31, 2026

Countdown is late today due to some IT issues at the office. This one was filed on Wednesday, but couldn’t export and do the rest until just now, so any wonderful releases you may have caught in the latter half of Wednesday or on Thursday have been deferred until next week ;)

Long intro this week, because just when you’re thinking, “I’ve seen this malarky on this fountain before” — Mr. Shanahan comes through with one of Summer 26’s finest plot twists.

And all “why isn’t it the fifty back 180?!” is probably justified, however, two Thrasher enders back-to-back seemed like too much, and if you’ve ever seen that Robert Lopez Mont rail in Old San Juan, you know.

Reminder: Tenant is screening the Bronze classics TRUST and Solo Jazz outdoors at McCarren Park on Sunday night. Swing by after skating.

Have a good one.
