Twelve minutes of Nik Stain B-sides + loosies via Zubr.
“Through It All” is a rad 11-minute New York edit from James Vail. Blackbyrds on any skate soundtrack is getting posted here :)
“I’ve died a thousand times but I’m still alive.” The Warm Up Zone wrapped up its series of Fred Gall tributes. Truly blessed to share the 2020 internet with a “new” blog dedicating half-a-summer to writing #longform posts about every crevice of Fred Gall’s career ♥ Fuck starting an Instagram, everyone write a paragraph.
Al Davis offers up a summer recap from Camp Jake A.K.A. Jake Johnson’s mini ramp in State College, Pennsylvania + surrounding street spots.

Shin’s reaction after Créteil backside noseblunt is still #lol every time.

AND1-inspired montage from the OG.2000 thinktank on the occasion of some new merch. First skate brand to get that AND1 collab wins.
Pop Trading Company continues to have some of the most ~different~ looking edits out there, and their latest is a frantic, desaturated journey into a version of Europe where every spot feels unseen to our outsider eyes.
Farewell, Century 21. Sock supplier to us all ♥ (This IG post was actually an indirect Century 21 tribute until it got hijacked into other topics.)
