We have a small capsule with our friends at Dime dropping this Saturday, March 21.
Our good friend Mike Gigliotti was the latest guest on The Bunt. Some clips from that 2007-era push to make a shop homie Supreme video that he mentions can be found in this old 240p edit by Sam Salganik. [Alternate SoundCloud link.]
And on that note, it makes sense that they pivoted away from the homies lurking around Lafayette Street in 2007, and started paying Tyshawn as they headed into the ”cherry era five years later. Complex has a half-hour video interview with Tyshawn. “Stevie Williams or Nick Trapasso?”
Stevie Williams was on the Living Proof podcast. They should’ve coordinated with Complex ahead of time to ask Stevie, “Tyshawn Jones or Nick Trapasso?”
“New York spots, in my opinion, are either super mellow or super gnarly; there’s no in between for the type of skating I like to do.” Heckride has a new interview with Joseph Campos.
“I just need people to realize that we control skateboarding. If we’re saying it’s dead, we’re dead. If it’s not cool, we’re not cool. It’s all ours. If you have a platform and you go, ‘Oh, skateboarding is dead,’ then you are a part of why it is dying.” Jenkem interviewed Gary Rogers about the future of Skateline + much more.
If Skateboards Could Talk — a new writing-based skate platform focused on “a filmic analysis of skateboarding videos” — has a #longform piece about Hockey x F.A. videographer, Benny Maglinao.
Yaje Popson has a new part for Closer.
Can’t remember the last time a new skatepark got this much press and controversy. NY Mag‘s Curbed vertical covered the battle over the skatepark in Mount Prospect Park, the design of which still faces a 10-20% potential of change.
Spot Updates 📍 — There is effectively a granite Venice curb — just not double-sided — running through the now-open, recently renovated part of Battery Park.
Loosies Corner 🚬 — A mix of Dylan Jaeb and Toby Ryan loosies.
QS Sports Desk Play of the Week 🏀 — Pretty obvious to give it to SGA, but sometimes the obvious answer is the right answer.
Quote of the Week 🗣
Recently got reminded of the 2019-era Insta mix to this song and it’s a nice time capsule :’)
