‘NEVER ENUFF III’ — Eze Martinez & Emilio Dufour For Hardbody Video

We first met Eze and Emilio on our “Argentina For Nothing” trip back in 2023, when they showed us around Buenos Aires. (Eze is from Argentina, Emilio is from neighboring Uruguay, just across the Río de la Plata.)

Both had been on our radar before, with Eze being the younger brother of a S.O.T.Y. winner who skates in a diametrically opposite way, and Emilio even having had a Top 10 #1 before, via him and his crew’s 2022 Montevideo scene video, MAL CIUDADANO.

And both have been busy since that trip: Eze’s L.A.-set Pepper part from last year rules, and Emilio just had a Free part x interview combo go live earlier this month.

Highwaymen 2025 — Ross Norman & Mike Rosa for Politic Part

📷 Photo by Smalls

The buddy-comedy style of filmmaking has seen better days. Case in point: the fifth installment in the Lethal Weapon series remains in Hollywood purgatory dating back to 1998. Fortunately for us, Ross Norman and Mike Rosa (with Smalls wielding the VX) resurrect the genre with a new D.C.-centric part for Politic. Ross continues his Pulaski homage to the Trilogy playbook, and Mike drops power moves including one of the upper-echelon ledge tricks. — Frozen in Carbonite

Favorite Spot with Aaron Loreth on West Park

🔑 Interview, Intro & Edit by Farran Golding
📹 Principal Footage by Geoff Browne, Benny Maglinao, Logan Lara & Angel Saucedo

The inclusion of skatepark footage in a video part can be a dubious subject, but one with generally agreed upon parameters. For transition skaters, it’s a no-brainer: who would argue a John Cardiel part would be better without ramps? D.I.Y. spots often fly, provided that they’re rough enough around the edges, rather than unsanctioned versions of a conventional skatepark. Also, if a park is old enough, or has an unintentional route to be exploited, you’re usually good to go.

Tokyo Report — PROV Skateshop’s ‘Prove’ Video

Any skater who has been to Tokyo has a story about walking into Prov. It is like stepping inside of an encyclopedia of small skate brands. If you live in one of the global skate centers and have a small-to-medium size brand, they have it; hell, they might’ve been the first account in Japan to roll the dice on it. At Prov, you’ll see brands that you can barely find in the States, whose drop schedule can be described as once every three months or three years. The knowledge that this crew has of what’s going on in the global skate landscape is truly unprecedented. And they’re down to pay the duties and import it across the globe.
