Not a ton of New York news this past week…

“4 Cities, 100 Nuggets” is a mini video featuring some Canadian dudes (…I think?) doing a two-week road trip through North Carolina, Philly, New York, and Boston. That back noseblunt bigspin at Baldi really came out of left field + good to see people coming up victorious over the speed bumps at the recently-knobbed plaza on 110th and 8th (which is sure to be utilized by absolutely nobody now, considering it’s in the middle of the street, with no shade, and across from a 840-acre park full of trees…)

Thoroughly enjoyed this… a lot: Kris Brown in the Philadelphia-based, A Regular Ass Video by DJ Traceman.

“It’s not a boot-camp for the Olympics.” “No, it’s a boot-camp for life.” Given the stature of its alumni, you likely know of its existence, but you probably don’t know much about the skateboarding high school in Mälmo, Sweden. Skateism has a full interview about Bryggeriet, and how’s its not exactly what you would expect.

Brian Delaney and a few others skate some Boston classics in a collab clip between Grand and Orchard Skate Shop. (Is that the first time somebody has backside 360 kickflipped a trashcan on flat?)

Summer Late Pass: Kontentwave #2

August 13th, 2019 · 12:11 am · 4 Comments

A month late seeing this July upload — but spreading the word about lesser-known corners of skateboarding is probably the entire point of still paddling against the tide in a canoe shaped like a words-based skate media outlet, no? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We met Sergio Salgado on that 2017 Barcelona trip when the entire city of New York flew out there on $350 tickets, and it rained the whole time. His nickname is Filoko, but someone on our trip lovingly gave him the moniker “Wine God,” because he skated at all hours of the day with wine in tow. Watching him skate is an experience of giddy anxiety. He seems to have minimal awareness of his surroundings while simultaneously being in control of everything that moves around whatever trick he’s doing. You’re worried while he’s trying, you’re pumped when he lands, and you’re confused about how the fuck he pulled it off while he’s powersliding down a hill to regain control on the rollaway. We’re here for skaters who give you a full spectrum of emotion ♥

94 And What

August 12th, 2019 · 12:21 am · 3 Comments

“But as long as your board is selling, no one has any problem with short video parts.” — Rest in Peace, Gabriel Rodriguez. Some of the most iconic arm steez in the history of skateboarding (not sure if anyone threw them ‘bows quite as stylishly as Gabriel did on a rollaway), and like Mooney said, the best ponytail ♥

Antosh‘s “Elbow Room” edit for a new board brand called Deed is really, really fucking good. Never would have thought a nose manual on pretty much the entire length of the main bank at Verizon would’ve been do-able, and that ender at Big Screen is nuts. Features solid appearances from all the Canadian sweethearts you know and love.

Don’t think there has ever been a skate interview that just got right into it quite the way Fred Gall’s Chromeball one did. Really wish the best for Fred, and skateboarding is lucky to have such an honest, open person in its ranks of legends. The Governor of New Jersey.

#QSTOP10 — August 9, 2019

August 9th, 2019 · 12:08 am · No Comments

Ah yes, the unavoidable slow news week in August. It gets the best of us. We’d apologize, but you’ve probably been as tuned out as we have.

Skateboarding quieted down a tiny bit since the psychotic round-up we had to narrow down to ten things last week, thank God.

Matt Andersen’s Rust Belt Trap video premieres tomorrow (Saturday, August 10) at 647 Grand Street, Brooklyn @ 9 P.M. Includes a Jerry Mraz part! Full flyer here + teaser here.

Have a good one ♥
