When we were doing a compilation of all of Nick Michel’s clips from our “For Nothing” Vans trips — on the occasion of him getting The Cover™ — a few people asked for a Diego edition. While doing the cutdowns for Diego’s Five Favorite Parts earlier this week, that suggestion floated back to mind. Great idea!

One of our favorite European skate crews …no, wait actually, two of our favorite European skate crews (!) — an amalgamation of Victor Campillo and his Marseille-based manual lords and the Swiss-based OG.2000 collective — came to New York last year. For many of them, it was their first time in the city: ten skaters, one crib with one bathroom, and a month to stack. Classic conundrum.

8-TRACK is latest video by Stephen Buggica’s Tampa-based Busted.Mic outfit, which has been dispatching from Florida for probably a ~decade now.
Today, we are happy to share Justin Grzechowiak’s part with you from their new one.
Now, how does a skater most closely associated with the second biggest city in New York find himself with a starring role in a video based out of the third biggest city in Florida? Well, since we first became fans of Justin’s Buffalo-based crust excavations via Theories of Atlantis, we figured Floridian x Static alumn Pat Stiener would be the one to dig up the answers. Enjoy the part and brief Q & A via Pat below.
After a tenure in Barcelona as a figurehead of the seminal Gronze franchise (we’re huge fans of the Gronze-ian extended fam), Max Geronzi has been on the move.
“No Fixed Address” bounces between Paris, Marseille, a couple alleyways and tight run-ups in Japan, plus a bit of boomeranging back to Barce to put together Max’s first solo part in what feels like a minute.
And as firm believers in the axiom that the nollie tre is the 4th best form of tre flip, that has to be the most beautiful nollie tre ever, no? Without even a real nose on the board!

We didn’t know much about Abel Bourbouze‘s skating until his Vague part that dropped last winter, and featured some of the most cobblestone-forward Parisian skating in an already cobblestone-friendly era for the city’s skate scene. The opening seconds of his latest, “CTRL+Z,” arrived with audible gasps around the main monitor at the QS submission desk, and didn’t let up until the final marble descent.
