It has been a little over a month since a city-approved granite ledge was dropped off at Tompkins. This is, by all objective measures, the most perfect Tompkins obstacle in the history of skateboarding at Tompkins. The marble delivery guy said it weighed 8,000 pounds. It was rumored to cost roughly what a used 2018 Honda Civic would run you today. Nike SB paid for it; it wasn’t heisted from a quarry by a granite Robin Hood. It is the sort of obstacle we travel and play mind games with security just to land ten to fifteen minutes of bliss with. And it was at Tompkins! It was never leaving! We don’t get kicked out of it!

Skateboarders had, in many ways, won.

The Eifuku crew out of Japan dropped a New York trip edit, which has the #2 clip from last week’s Top 10 — but a lot of other gems too. That noseslide to boardslide on the barrier at Columbus Circle was wild. Also love it when visitors night skate; they even re-unlocked Times Square half-a-decade past it being a go.

Lots of spots inside empty malls and a fire bit of Hardbody Ross footy at the end in Matty Hilzenrath’s new NJ-scene edit, “Five On Pump Two.” Ross gotta go back for that hardflip. (Also shout out to his frontside flip tweak on the XL Tompkins bump-to-bar.)

#QSTOP10 — May 15, 2026

Very kind and understanding drivers, only just a fraction of the galaxy-brained set-ups that have gone down at Tompkins this spring, people jumping off high things, and some heaters from a …boxer short company.

Also one of those weeks when Free had a lot of the good stuff 🔴

The second slot is from a three-week-old video that we missed, but the iPhone angle had been making the rounds this week, so some backtracking was in order. What an absolutely psychotic thing to try on that spot. People will be talking about that one on all future CBS pitstops.

Today is Tony Hawk’s birthday.

But it is also Danny Brady’s birthday.

Wait, so it’s still Tony Hawk’s birthday, twice.

“Figured since I had just started skating again, that I would film my ender in London…he was passing a message from Lev [Tanju] saying I’ve got to get my ender in Philly, you can’t come over here to do it. I was like, damn, alright, I guess I gotta skate this handrail.” Slam City Skates has a #longform “First & Last” interview with Jahmir Brown.

“How far back does Dylan Jaeb’s skate brain go? There’s another clue in the credits, where videographer Jacob Palumbo can briefly be seen dribbling soda out of a cup and onto a volcanic stone manual pad, which earlier in the vid is the site of a frontside 180 fakie manual kickflip out.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Dylan Jaeb’s new part and pouring soda on spots.
