Follow Filming, a new YouTube channel that does skate-related video essays, compiled a fifteen-minute dive into the history of something everybody reading this has skated at one point: “The Story of the Element Flatbar.” Farran said “It’s like 99% Invisible for kids who grew up skating in their driveway.”
New fifteen-minute video out of Pittsburgh, forever one of the most unique skate scenes in the country: “THIS PLACE SUCKS” is a new one by Gavin McGinty.

“THE RAGDOLL TEAMCONTENT PROMO” is a six-minute montage out of Detroit by Cooper Vosburg. Has about a full part’s worth of footage from Nick Rainey. There’s a snowboard section in the middle because the fellas live in Michigan.
