Thanks to everyone who grabbed something from the webstore ❤️ Should be caught up on shipping orders soon. Available at skateshops worldwide now.
Everyone who has logged years skating Tompkins has an immediate answer to “what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen walking into the Tompkins bathroom?” Let’s see if the $5 million they put into renovating it keeps it from becoming the tenth ring of hell again. Now open!
“Yeah, I think that when you show everything, it allows more people in. There are people I know who don’t skate who have watched this and for them it’s like a hero’s journey or something: You’re watching someone go through something, and you can maybe sympathize with me, or maybe think I’m insane, but you get that I’m trying really hard to do something. You don’t need to understand the context for the tricks to get that.” The menswear SubStack, Blackbird Skyplane, got the elusive Bobby DeKeyzer on the horn for an interview about his new part.
“The ‘BOBCBC’ vid is a 24-minute meditation on place and process that on paper reads like a ‘raw files’ but plays like an art installation, scenes and sounds blurring together as time passes and the performer-producer duo work things through in the frame.” Feels like it’s a good sign when a single video part inspires a bunch of #writing in 2025? Boil the Ocean also wrote about the Bobby part.
The crew from ITCH Magazine has a new edit out that’s heavy on New York spots. That Zuccotti trick is 10/10 + the ender at Columbus Circle comes out of nowhere […might need a name for Top 10 inclusion?]
Our buddy Danny Weiss spoke to Hero magazine about his multi-decade-spanning project of photographing the last New York City payphones up until the final one was removed from the streets in 2022. You can buy the resulting book for $40 from Smog Press.

All of Quim and Mike Cardona’s 411VM appearances, along with a good bit of their footy from R.B. Umali’s Revisited series. Absolutely fucked that the G. Dep remix we did with Quim’s footy says “14 years ago” when you search it on YouTube. Some heartwarming comments in there though!
Thrasher put their Supreme in Miami photo feature from the June issue online. Includes an interview with Zion Effs at the end. Kader also shared a vlog from the premiere + Miami store opening over on his YouTube page.
