Mark Suciu by Cole Giordano via the new issue of Closer Skateboarding, which has that incredible Evan Wasser cover dropping in on that red cube behind Zuccotti. FWIW, Zered said he only went halfway up for his drop-in, before anyone gets all precious about it ;)
Tyshawn was on The Breakfast Club for a half-hour-long interview. It is obviously for a radio station, so you’re getting some radio station ass questions about skateboarding, but he doesn’t do a ton of interviews, so there you go. New THPS game otw just casually thrown in there, too.
“It’s crazy you are doing tricks you’ve never done 30 years later.” Never know when these come out because none of their posts are dated, but No Comply Network has a lllllloooooong interview with Zered Bassett, apparently from a few weeks ago. They cover everything from first getting into skating on Cape Cod, right through life after Alltimers.
Patrick O’Dell shot a five-minute video profile of Louie Lopez for Noah. “Thanks for caring this much, yaknow?”

“The trips that I started going on early in my career were during the era where you just had to get one photo to justify the whole trip, and there usually wasn’t even a video component that went with it.” Ian Browning spoke to Ryan Lay about the politics of skate trips as part of Village Psychic’s “The Rules of Skateboarding” series.
“Hey, they put two influencers in the same Quartersnacks Top 10, let’s go.” FWIW, there was zero debate in the breakroom about putting those tricks in there. It’s 2025, everyone’s an influencer. But honestly, one of the nice things about getting older is being a bit more detached from current skate social media skate politics that the skating and videos can mainly do the speaking for themselves.
NJ’s Travel Skateshop crew hit the Vans park in Brooklyn. That place looks way better with an old camera than some 4K HD, like an old 411 demo section. Speaking of which…
All of Clyde Singleton’s 411VM appearances in one video.
We know nothing about graffiti, but this dude gave a “graffiti tour” of the Brooklyn Banks, which obviously has a lot of overlap with skateboarding. (Dude used to skate, yes.)
Billy Mark’s West is back from the dead.
“R.I.P. Hooters.” “Which Hooters?” “All of them.”
Loosies Corner — Quick bit of Zac Gavin loosies + quick bit of Riley Pavey loosies.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week — Mikal Bridges’ block v.s the Bulls to send it into OT …in yet another game that had no business being in OT.
