J.P. Blair‘s next video, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT (sounds like a Drake album, tbh), premieres at Cinema Village on May 1, with showings at 8 + 8:45 P.M. Flyer here. 22 E. 12th Street. Not to be confused with Village East, also on E. 12th Street, but further east.
“STAGEDIVE420” is a really sick all-NYC montage featuring a lot of homies and some pro homies by Daniel Star. Gabriel Fortunato’s two pole-jam tricks were beautiful.
Our friend and longtime staple of the Duplex universe, Dan Lundy, has a new five-minute Florida edit featuring Andrew Wilson, some wild Joel Minholz footage, the Andrew crew, and a bearded Pedro Delfino somehow not snapping his board on that final clip.
“We’ve had a lot of Last Days, but this is the first First Days.” Skate Jawn has a photo featurette on the first days of Muni + here’s a 17-minute dispatch from the opening.
“Forged in the fire of 90’s contests, surviving by the skin of their teeth both physically and financially – the 2000’s demo skater was a battle-hardened veteran of some of the most demonic setups known to man – putting it all on the line for $5k and a pat on the back.” SMLTalk tapped in to write about the lineage of demos, demo heroes, and tour videos for Skate Jawn. Jenkem’s Tour Star video from a 2025 Adidas tour deserves a nod though…
