It is easy to imagine the title of this video uttered from a driver’s window to a gas station attendant. Twenty bucks can get you a lot of places in the only state where the law requires someone to pump your gas for you. In A 20 of Regular, the ground covered situates it in the echelon of great New Jersey videos. Its textures and rhythm call to mind great independent videos like the Grains series and Rust Belt Trap, but features enough of its creator Matty Hilzenrath’s personal touches to herald a skate videographer coming into his own. The 40-minute video lives and breathes its crusty spots, with extended time given to run-ups, landings, and the in-betweens of filming.

Tre flip form three out of four positions, mountainous double-kinks, mountainous banks, aquatic 5050s, and literally gasped on the way that broken tile moved on #10. Terrifying.

(To anyone being like, “Why isn’t the Townley ender in it?” — Neither him nor his board sponsor nor Thrasher et al. posted it as of press time. Felt it was better to save the surprise. Also, we don’t usually ~feel~ things from kinked rail boardslides, but something about this one did it.)

Have a good one.

We noticed how much real-life connections and childhood viewing habits have informed Five Favorite Parts — with the latter often offering up the left-field selections. Although vert superstardom was not high among the collective youthful aspirations of the QS office, if we ran a vote, then a ledge of any shape or size would undoubtedly emerge as our preferred obstacle of choice. That shared ideal, our sympathy for ledges gone AWOL, and her recent output, make Hayley Wilson an overdue guest here.

Heat Wave?

Village Psychic has the web premiere of Kevin Barthold’s part in A 20 Of Regular, which covers every genre of New Jersey crust imaginable.

Some spots only last a day. Neil Herrick talks through three photos and a couple of trick battles he had from 5Boro’s 5Ball video with Skate Jawn.

“In the 80s in the New York, Halloween was a license for craziness. It was beyond egging cars. It was a lot of violence…” TWS spoke with O.G. Bruno Musso (if you have the Full Bleed book, that’s Musso on the cover) about the 80s and early 90s days of the Brooklyn Banks.

Happy summer + impending heat wave.

The last time someone got a bluntside-variant ender on Zuccotti, they got knocked out cold on the way to a Thrasher “My War,” so yeah, bluntsliding off that thing is insane. Otherwise, natural Euro gaps to uphill landings, hoisting ollies off inch-long wedges, and what year are we in? — because people are skating the Brooklyn Banks to Gang Starr.
