Stafhon Boca and a fan 🔥
“In a remarkable gesture of support for grassroots skateboarding, renowned skateboard designer Antonio Durao has fulfilled a long-held dream by donating a collection of his Hardbody deck models and essential skateboarding gear to the Uganda Skateboard Society.” Pretty sure E.J. designed those, but a beautiful collaboration. S.O.T.Y. shit. 🏆
No Jeff Cecere video this Christmas, but he’s working on one 🎅
Fuck This Industry made some decks, and to commemorate, dropped a full Myles Underwood part to much critical acclaim. (“Dis might be more influential then the el toro flip 💯.”)
Another 2025 TJ Rogers part?! Yep, Another 2025 TJ Rogers part!
Staying on topic, the fact that Gabbers crooked grinded the fucking sixteen rail at Police Plaza (technically in a line because he’s trucking full speed ahead after that heelflip), and it was thrown in an Insta loosies edit should tell you everything you need to know about skateboarding in 2025. That’s a cover in another timeline.
If you’ve been to Labor, you’ve met Marse. His part in Tristan Mershon’s Singer Tower video was filmed while working at the shop full-time, and can be caught over on Jenkem alongside an interview with the man himself.
Two videos from two of the best skate scenes in the country the world — 1) CUT THE NUMBERS by Statue out of D.C. 2) Jordan Trahan x Humidity’s Delta video, documenting all the locals and the visitors that passed through New Orleans in recent years. Add these to our “wish these dropped next month”-pile because they both deserved more love on the front page during this busy season.
“Nasty skating got u down? Pls enjoy the preeminent skater of the non-linear timeline.” The Fookyah think-tank uploaded some fantastic, albeit lo-def Jason Byoun footage from can’teventellwhatyear. We feel about Jason the way gen-x’ers feel about Gino. Probably.
Pocket posted up a behind-the-scenes x raw files edit for a camping trip through Norway with the Nike SB crew, all shot while filming for Tor Ström’s SB Scandinavia video, A Mid Summer.
When we posted the reno’d Wagner plaza in Battery Park, there was obviously no standout obstacle, but it stood to reason someone would figure ~something~ out. Pretty sure Ari Misurelli is the first one to stack on it. Makes sense. The future, yaknow?
Blondey McCoy is the latest guest on the Living Proof podcast.
Lots of vehicles been crashing into skate spots lately. And we’re the problem? Ok.
Spot Updates 📍 — Far from the most popular spot, and this feels way late, but the Alexis ledges in the alley behind Bellevue are covered in scaffolding.
