“Are you a believer?” It has been over a year since the last Panorama or Rat Ratz video, but to hold you over, Spezzatura dropped “RAWR 5,” a compendium of what has gone down in the Milan skate scene since the winter. Safe to say that the subtitles are once again the funniest part. Very pretty flat at the start 🇮🇹
Ben Kadow did the “5 Greats” questionaire for Thrasher. Can’t wait for Ben to skate to Chief Keef in his next part. Also, will echo the NY Pizza Suprema sentiment 🍕 A man can really get some thinking done with a mushroom slice on the post office steps across from MSG.
Naquan Rollings continues to go through his old VX tapes, with the latest installment clocking in at 13 minutes of 2019 footy. Still committing to that back heel after the Parks Department parked at the bottom of the steps was wild. Staten Island line is a classic too. [Previously: Midtown 2017.]

Jenkem recounted the ten most iconic moments of Black Sabbath #musicsupervision in skate video history on account of the band playing their last-ever show earlier this month. Spoiler alert: Fred Gall.
The Lookback Library linked up with Sean Malto for their “Cover Discussions” series.
20+ years after one dipshit tried to put explosives in his shoes, we have joined the rest of the world and you can finally leave your footwear on when you go through TSA security. Don’t worry, that dude in front of you is still going to be taking his off and jamming up the line for another 20. Old habits die hard ¯\_(ツ)_/
