If We Locked In, Ain’t No Switchin’ Up — Best of 2022 Montage

Video & Remixes December 29th, 2022 · 12:00 am · 2

A lil’ late on this year’s annual Christmas card of recycled footage and smushed iPhone clips edited to a grab bag of the past twelve months’ most inescapable songs. (There is post-Christmas precedent back in 2018 though…)

2022 was different than the past two years in that we were actually able to travel once again, which of course included Meatball’s first time on the European continent, aply recapped throughout the proceeding video.

Otherwise, it is your typical mix of noseslides, homie pros, party clips, and other malarky. Thanks for watching this year, and see everybody in 2023 ❤️ (No Q.S.S.O.T.Y. this year because Thrasher was right. Or Ben Chadourne reigns for another year.)

‘DUPLEX 4’ Is Now Live

The Duplex dudes out of West Palm Beach have been on an absolute tear these past two years, and still found room to kick 2022 into hyperdrive. DUPLEX 3 dropped this past spring, and in the eight months since, they’ve come back with a sequel, somehow expanding the crew even further — if the increased size of the crowd celebrating at the bottom of each stair-set is any indicator.

With so much of the December conversation steered towards a select few superstars’ productivity over the past year, it’s important to recognize crew efforts, especially when you can feel that giddy love for making skateboard videos permeate through the screen in the final product.

Marcello Campanello’s Maxallure Part

Video & Remixes November 22nd, 2022 · 1:15 pm

We’ve been fans of Marcello’s skateboarding since even before he closed out Canal’s Mode video, which feels like the part that truly put him on everybody’s radar.

In recent years, he’s gotten properly hooked up from Karl Watson’s imprint, Maxallure Skateboards, and got surprised with a pro board last week. In celebration of the pro nod, him and Diego Donival put together a new part (you probably remember that Marcello also had a quick section in Diego’s Potluck video from late 2019.) Heavy on the footage in Marcello’s hometown borough, with much of the rest set entirely in New York, plus two Bay Area closer clips :)

Regardless of how extensively an interview is prepared for, the finest moments often drift into conversation unplanned and on a tangent.

The backstory to Trung Nguyen’s darkslide – which closed his part in Chase Walker’s RESPECTFULLY just over a year ago – may seem like an obvious topic to probe. However, it only came about after discussing a string of gear choices as rare as the trick itself.

Speaking to Trung for his Five Favorite Parts, talk of Brent Atchley led to talk of Chromeball Dunks and “the special Element board” which he took griptape-side down around the curved flatbar at Marcus Garvey Park, scored by Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn.”

Asked for the run down, Trung recounted the year-in-the-making story of the darkslide with an uninterrupted enthusiasm that recalled A.V.E. discussing the Green Bench. Here’s how the most memorable enders in recent years came to be.

F.T.I. Comp #tfreport

Tompkins Square Park — like all other skate spots, institutions, and thinktanks — is subject to the winds of time and generational shifts. The Tompkins of today is a different ecosystem of personality and obstacles than even the one that stood on the original Save Tompkins Day in 2019.

…much like that one is different from the immediate post-Autumn days when the lifespan of a box or rail would rarely exceed 72 hours.

…and that one was different from the post-9/11 years when it first became a buzzing central hub that exceeded the popularity of any traditional street spot.

…and that one was different from the Skate NYC days depicted in endlessly reposted nineties lore.
