“Figured since I had just started skating again, that I would film my ender in London…he was passing a message from Lev [Tanju] saying I’ve got to get my ender in Philly, you can’t come over here to do it. I was like, damn, alright, I guess I gotta skate this handrail.” Slam City Skates has a #longform “First & Last” interview with Jahmir Brown.
“How far back does Dylan Jaeb’s skate brain go? There’s another clue in the credits, where videographer Jacob Palumbo can briefly be seen dribbling soda out of a cup and onto a volcanic stone manual pad, which earlier in the vid is the site of a frontside 180 fakie manual kickflip out.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Dylan Jaeb’s new part and pouring soda on spots.
Honestly, it feels like Jaeb to Quasi is the sort of roster move that’s had topical staying power in a way that few (none?) recent roster upheavals have — sorta how Dylan and Austyn going to HUF in the early 2010s crystalized convo for an entire summer. Proves the efficacy of doing a roll-out that’s more in-depth than an Instagram post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ANYWAY, Anthony Pappalardo The Writer did a deep dive on Jaeb’s career over on his Substack + Thrasher posted their Dylan Jaeb interview from the latest issue online 🔵

Film Forum held over Phil Hartman’s film, No Picnic, shot in the East Village in 1985. EVGrieve interviewed Hartman about it recently: “I still love the East Village, no matter how much it’s changed, because giants walked these streets.”
Not a comedy podcast person whatsoever — but Fat Joe, Jadakiss and Bill Burr made me miss my train stop the other day.
