We love all civic-minded skate media: Bubble has a 33-minute documentary about the legacy of Sants Plaza in Barcelona, which was demolished a year ago.
Coda dropped a new all-NYC edit over on Skate Jawn. Shanahan rolled in on it to start a line (see #21), but that’s the first time someone treated those amphitheaters at the Citi Field benches as a bank, right? Crazy.
“I just don’t even know no more. For me, if it doesn’t feel like the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, it doesn’t feel like I got a clip.” Really enjoyed Naquan’s 10-minute raw reel of Nikolai clips from his Venture part. Lol’d @ him being shocked at the board having the audacity to go into the water on that nosegrind. Occupational hazard for a Floridian skater, though.
“Fun fact, Deathwish helped get me kicked out of school.” Heckride interviewed Donta Hill.
Next trip, every team manager should put Kevin Bækkel’s hour and 45-minute raw reel from his last Creature part on the screen in the AirBnb while people are getting ready to head out for the day. Anyone complaining that day gets left on the side of the road.
Godspeed to the crew at Grey Skate Mag, which announced that it was ceasing operations last week. Sixteen years of running a print mag is nothing short of astounding. Best of luck to everyone over there on their next chapter ❤️
Mike Carroll was the latest guest on the Living Proof podcast. He thought the 411 era was weird in its time, so asks us to keep an open mind when things change …because people adapt ;)
…and Zander Mitchell was the latest guest on The Bunt.
What.
Visualize being at Fort Greene with Max Hull, Zach, and Joe Scordo so the snow starts to melt.
Spot Updates 📍 — Not like the knobs are gonna last, but they’re knobbing Pulaski right now.
Loosies Corner 🚬 — All of Van Wastell’s clips at S.F’s 3 Up 3 Down + an 18-minute trip down memory lane of the most iconic clips at the Santa Moncia Courthouse, which was apparently in recent danger of being demolished for redevelopment? (They saved it, btw.)
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — 5′ 8 Yuki Kawamura winning a jump ball are you fucking kidding me. Yes, there’s a 5’8 player in the 2026 NBA, so don’t let any prospective romantic partner scare you off with some B.S. height restriction because it’s YUKI-SANITY AT THE SPORTS DESK BABY.
