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.
Atlanta Report — Justin Hearn’s “STRATOSPHERE” Part
Justin Hearn is one of the leading faces pushing the Atlanta skate scene in 2025, and today, we are proud to present his part for Stratosphere — a shop that is not only the longest-standing in the city, but one of the most O.G. shops in the entire country.
Itchy For Society
Someone was like, “Do y’all still have that hat?!” It’s on the webstore, buddy ✅
Pero Šimić has a sick new two-minute part for Obey by Naquan Rollings, which consists of all New York clips. That ollie onto the board-width ledge was some Lennie Kirk shit, and the pillar rides at the Banks are a new dimension.
“The sheer audacity of plunking a switch backside noseblunt down the Brooklyn Banks nine-stair rail in the middle of an edit has previously been discussed.” Boil the Ocean goes through the potential 2025 S.O.T.Y. contenders. When’s the last time a vert skater was the frontrunner?
Sexhippies new video, which is a dive into the scene in western Massachusetts and a bit beyond, just went live. “Earth Mafia” has a fire opening part from Eddie Vargas Jr., appearances from Andrew Wilson, Cooper Qua, Zac Gavin and many other familiar faces.
#QSTOP10 — October 24, 2025
Lots of diving into the abyss — which seems applicable for our days and times.
Hardflips the ~wrong~ way, pedestrians who respect a smooth 5050, and no-pop nollie flips round out the rest of it.
Have a good weekend. It starts getting dark pre-5 P.M. come next Sunday, so enjoy this last one before we all start to hunker down.
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.) I imagine it’s kinda like what trawling for crust in Ridgewood or Maspeth is for us in New York — except for them, it’s in a city known for its flawless, low-bust spots and skate bucket-list pedigree.
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.
