From a skate house above a chicken shop by Southbank to a GQ feature: Fashion-writer-who-actually-skates-and-can-write, Noah Johnson, profiled the minds behind Palace for a feature in Famous Men’s Magazine™.

Heckride interviewed Johnny and Mitchell’s brother, Andrew. Very excited for Coots’ video ♥

There is no shortage of crust evangelists working in New York skateboarding today, but every once in a while, there’s a part so endlessly dedicated to spots with eight things wrong with them that you need to stop and give #respect. Charlie Cassidy’s 4 x 4 part is one of those, and Vague mag has the part + an interview with him about it. The cast of In Crust We Trust would be proud :)

The raviest edit you’ll see this summer: “DECOUPE” from the Raskal dudes out of Marseilles.

Not as ravey, but still kinda ravey and all New York footy: “⊘promo” by Reilly Schlitt.

Loophole’s New Doors Have Opened video is now online in full.

Brian Reid uploaded a B-sides part from his section in the Boston-based Grace video by Tim Savage.

Joel Meinholz hosted a “Bum Rush the Spot” at the famous Miami bank over the four. Zoogie has the recap.

Mr. Slo-Be has the distinction of releasing 2021’s first great rap song on January 1st, so it’s great to see him follow through on that promise in droves with Slo-Be Bryant 3, pretty much the only thing that’s been played at the office this past week.
