Two Weeks Until 7 P.M. Sunsets

Have been laughing about this for a week straight. Via Tao.

The winter’s been so fucked that Courthouse is a snowboard spot now.

“It is my last name. It is not a stage name.” Skate Jawn interviewed Elisa Martini.

Shout out to T.J. Rogers man 🫡

Always admire a trip edit to a place conventionally understood as not that great for skate spots. Love it even more when it’s THE RETURN OF GRONZE ISLAND, BABY! The Gronze crew went to Reykjavík, and it looks like they saw a blue sky zero times. Beautiful nonetheless.

Forgot this whole saga about the skatepark in Mount Prospect Park was still going on, but have a feeling that pleas about how skateboarders are going to impale themselves on a fence at the bottom of a quintuple-set kinked handrail aren’t going to a win a ton of people in your corner to not build a space for young people. This shit’s a bad Parks & Rec episode.

“‘Yo Paul, you’re like making this place look really beautiful.’ And he stopped me, and he’s like, ‘No. It was already beautiful.’ Then, he’s like, ‘We just needed the camera.'” Monster Children interviewed the four El Paso skateboarders who were featured in One Battle After Another.

The Skateboarder’s Companion spent a day with Jahmir Brown in London, getting a play-by-play of his hillbomb slam and switch back noseblunting at the new Palace park.

Pad’s favorite skater Daiki Hoshino rides for Krooked 👀

“The next morning we got a call from the local shop owner telling us that some kids had found Tom’s passport in a trashcan outside a 7/11, near the demo we’d done. To this day I’m certain that Tom threw away his passport on purpose because he didn’t want the fun to end.” Rune Glifberg recounts memories of traveling with Tom Penny in the 1990s for Bubble.

“Perhaps most importantly, does any of that matter as long as Barletta and Weiss did what felt right to them?” Simple Magic reports on Louie Barletta and Bill Weiss buying Enjoi back from the private equity fuckheads who owned it after the Dwindle Distribution acquisition.

Kinda impossible to see the bright side from where we sit now — especially after getting one nice Saturday with the snow cleared to a blizzard the next day — but “April is expected to skew warmer and drier than average” according to forecasts, so, there’s that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Loosies Corner 🚬 — Three minutes from Aleksi Suovaara and Gabriel Bjørsvik. The fold on that half cab flip!

QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — Naz Reid dunk on Prince night, though the Wolves’ cameraperson needs to holler at a skate filmer to get that white balance figured out.

Quote of the Week 🗣 “YouTube Shorts is the future.” — Greg Navarro
