Our dear friend Torey Goodall talks small-town Canadian beginnings, watching Palace evolve from the “Tres Trill” days to their new community center in London, and the consciousness shift against “cool guy” vibes in skateboarding, fashion and beyond on the Nowhere Fast podcast.
Alexey Krasniy does a bunch of wild shit in New York — from Blubba to random rocks on the street to a nose manny at Police Plaza that’s a shoo-in for Top 10 this week — in his closing part in the Piss Drunx video. (Yes, it’s a brand now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Is that the first time somebody did the Wade Fyfe slam hubba in Barcelona?
“Because, well, how else are you gonna make any money off of that shit?” Simple Magic reflects on its 6/15 record of 2025 predictions, and offers 15 more for what’s going to happen in skateboarding these next 12 months. Truly honored to know nothing about these “leagues.”
Our friends at Moms Skateshop in up in Buffalo just dropped an 11-minute video.
“I think [CBC] was a good spot to do that video because it’s not a spot that I really like skating, so it kind of felt like that got it out of my system.” Bobby De Kezyer has a #longform interview with Hypebeast about the ethos of “BOBCBC” and beyond.
It’s a fountain so ugly that only skateboarders could love it, and now, even The Wall Street Journal is weighing in on the battle to save the Embarcadero Fountain in S.F. [*Mandatory if you can hop a fence to skate a spot, you should know how to hop a paywall – warning*]
“Most skateboards here have 10 owners.” Jenkem interviewed two twenty-somethings who just dropped a 40-minute video filmed entirely in Caracas, Venezuela.
There’s gonna be 4x as many red light speed cameras in the city by the end of the year, so slow the fuck down.

QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — Immanuel Quickley, the player with the best skater name in the NBA, to win it for Toronto while the Hornets announcer loses his mind. (Hum diddily dee!)
Quote of the Week 🗣 “Damn. South Beach kinda feels like Ridgewood.” — E.J.
Saw the new restoration of Michael Mann’s Thief the other night at IFC Center and remembered just how fuckin’ sick it was that Coots started off The Hit Video with the theme from the final scene. (“D’ya want some milk?”) Tangerine Dream was RIPPING on drugs that don’t even exist anymore when they logged this.
