Baltimore Report — Threads’ “Vacant Street Blues” Video

It is safe to say that when a city’s most famous spot is The Wire Spot, and the people who have logged the most clips there still express frustration with it, you don’t have exactly the easiest metro area to produce a full-length video in. And yet, generation after generation, Baltimore continues to produce incredible skaters, incredible videos, and a vibrant scene that shares an ethos with places like Pittsburgh and Detroit where there is this almost artisan quality to every piece of the puzzle — from the rub-bricked ledges to the videographer’s persistence that everybody get something for the video.

#QSTOP10 — October 24, 2025

Lots of diving into the abyss — which seems applicable for our days and times.

Barcelona Report — YEAHLEYEAH “Eurday” Part

One of the most prolific skate media franchises of the past ~decade has been Gronze. They carry a remarkable ability to dig into the outskirt neighborhoods of Barcelona, and tackle the sort of spots that your average skate tourist would not even glance at. (Really wish the “11th of the Month” series would make a comeback.)

Today, we’re proud to present a part from one of the franchise’s frigureheads, Fred Plocque Santos. “Eurday” was made with his friend Noyan, and premiered at the Vladimir Film Festival earlier this year. The results are a dive into those aforementioned outskirts, with boardslides down near-vertical knobbed rails, hubbas in the shape of quarterpipes, a highway-adjacent Max Palmer spot cousin, and a whole new take on the concept of subway skating.
