Keep It Skater

“Type III Fun” is a new, all-NYC video by John Lamair featuring the youngs hucking into rocks, going back for that white marble drop-in at World Trade that everyone gets washed on, and being shocked by their own inward heelflips. Great vibes the whole way through ✨

“I got an 8.25. I got Zeroes in the car!” A watershed moment for Village Psychic’s “Lurking With Lou” series: 14 years (!!!!!!!!) after Lurker Lou allegedly ruined Matt Millitano’s life by focusing his board on Slap’s One In A Million show [according to the internet], they link up to sesh spots outside of New York skateboarding’s oft-treaded zones. Joke’s on the internet, because they were friends the whole time. Also, even as someone who has known Lou for a long time, I completely took for granted that he was 28 in that show. Beards, man.

Kiernan McGinnis has a new part out for Grey Skate Mag that’s largely filmed in Philly. The control on that bank-to-rail kickflip back fifty is too good. And if you missed the nollie backside flip at the Lily Pads [R.I.P.] from last weeks’ top ten, it’s worth a loop or ten.

The crew from Premier Skateshop up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, dropped a new …homie video called “Disintegration: A Not The Homie Video.” Looks like the AI animation era has arrived for even crew videos shots on a VX.

“The outcome is good, but also just the fact that, like on the other side of it, there’s a couple dozen people that have a better understanding of how the city works and how they can engage with it moving forward.” The Providence Preservation Society has a #longread on how the skate scene in Prov banded together to save their D.I.Y. spot (one that we had a small role in helping out at ten years ago) from the powers that be — all in a place that had outlawed skateboarding up until as recently as 2020.

Skate Bylines reflects on 100 episodes of Beyond Boards, “the thoughtful podcast dedicated to the actions and interests of skateboarders beyond skateboarding.”

Justin Brock — who got Gus Gordon’s vote for the best skater out of North Carolina — linked up with the Lookback Library for their “Cover Discussions” series.

Trent McClung is the latest guest on The Bunt.
