Rest in Peace Marc Johnson
After reading the news about Marc Johnson’s death last night, it took an hour or two before I realized that the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” had quietly been looping in my head — kinda like the mental version of pocket-playing music on your phone’s speakers, until someone catches it and tells you. This is not coming from a massive Rollings Stones fan, but “Miss You” is my favorite Stones song. (No idea what second place would be.) 95% of that has to do with the fact that it is the song in my favorite Marc Johnson part.

Quartersnacks makes a Knicks hat, and then the Knicks make the Finals for the first time in 27 years. Coincidence? Definitely not.
“If you’re painting in fear, that’s a bad state.” Antonio Durao is a painter.
Jermaine Whittaker has a new part with his 5301 CLT crew down in Charlotte, made in tribute to their friend, Nate Stout. Some New York dispersed between Carolina crust.
Two new ones from the next gens out of Europe: “BUG OUTTA HERE” by Moritz Ueberall and the BUG crew out of Hamburg + “Rustiq” by Stellavision, a young crew out of Paris. There’s some Trung guest clips in there too ;)
Kilian Zehnder’s “4M” part has a good batch of New York footy at the start. Switch flip back noseblunt is a demonic thing to try at Lenox.
Late Nite Stars Makes A Tompkins Obstacle & A New Video
What is skateboarding but a long-winded way to worship architectural banalities?
Among this worship, the highest exaltation might be recreating a banality that you found on the other side of the planet in your own backyard. The Late Nite Stars crew was so enamored with this — um, mellow bank with parallel round rails fixed into it — that the handful of clips on it in their Asia tour video for Asics was not enough. Assuming the original spot was made in effort to knob the bank itself, it’s pretty funny that their skatestopping efforts yielded a spot so unique that it is being reproduced in New York. Now everyone can feel the bliss LNS felt under that Tokyo bridge, because they’re dropping it off at Tompkins later today once the rain dries up.
Roadkill in Europe — New Marcello Campanello Part By Naquan Rollings
Only two months past the fourth “Roadkill” installment, Naquan is back with a new one, this time in the form of an entirely Euro-summer’d Marcello Campanello part. Mostly filmed in Marseille, which still feels like Europe’s premier skate getaway in the post-pandemic years, the part bounces between France and Amsterdam, with guest clips from Carl Aikens and Jaïr Gravenberch, who you may know from the POP Trading Company edits.
