Destiny’s Child Traded Beyoncé To TLC For Chili

Primitive Video by Thomas Albin: one of humanity’s earliest ancestors discovers an anachronistic VX1000, and mankind is immediately advanced hundreds of thousands of years into the future to the partially unknobbed ledge that sits atop a four-stair platform between the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a Whole Foods. Otherwise, a really fun homie video that keeps its sights on the Normal People Spots of this city, e.g. there’s no Courthouse and the biggest set is an eight

Pulling up to the Boston Aquarium ledges [as seen in decades worth of skate videos and The Departed] as an out of towner is a shared experience. Few places have as wide of a disparity between “omg that looks so fun!” when seen on videos, v.s. the “what the actual fuck are these cracks” when you arrive like Aquarium does, so it makes sense that the locals have the best clips there. Jerry Fowler, the Godfather of Six-Figure Ledge Skating™, breaks down the history of Boston’s crackiest ledge spot alongside from a who’s who of the New England skate scene for the latest Jenkins Log.

Nelly Morville made an iPhone edit from a trip out to L.A. with the Limo-verse.

Carl Aikens has a new part over on Free. Heavy on the French clips, with a lil’ New York stuff mixed in, and naturally, a 2x switch tre to seal it.

DANMARKS DRENGE 2.0 is an all-locals Copenhagen video by Jeppe Rasmussen that digs a bit deeper than the standard spots that all us tourists skate. Includes Julius Rohrberg, Hjalte, Ville, and a lot of beards.

Theories released 13 minutes of New York footage from the making of Static 6, featuring Jahmal, Jordan, John B, et al.

No matter the year, somebody is going to be doing flip-in lines at Lenox and skating to Jeru the Damaja. Jost Arens’ new Red Bull part has a couple of New York clips, and a new [new?] Jeru the Damaja song. [That means like, released in this millennium, fwiw.]

Loosies Corner — Some raw clips from a Nike SB Quickstrike trip out to New Zealand with Ishod, Karim, Cyrus, et al.

QS Sports Desk — All the “explain the Luka trade in girl terms”-isms are funny, but like, the “conspiracy” isn’t a conspiracy, and more of just a practical assessment of the business behind the scenes, right? It’s insane how they thought people were going to believe “yeah, he’s getting a bit chunky” as the reason, rather than potentially setting up intricate scaffolding for some Supersonics shit.
