Gas Giants 2026 — Ish Cepeda’s “INERTIA” Part

At the beginning of last year, Ish Cepeda had the first #1 in the the first Top 10 of 2025, with a 10/10 front heel over a hubba going the hard way.

To start this year off, we have a full part from Ish, and it also happens to begin with a 10/10 front heel, just to keep things consistent. “INERTIA” coincides with a run of boards for his Gas Giants imprint, which are only available from skate shops for the time being. (Online eventually.)

Watch out for the bros’ beverages when you’re rattling off flip tricks at the end of your line 🫡

Tre Flip: The Movie (Dir. Salomon Cardenas, 2025)

Much commotion was made over a tre flip in 2025. After the Top 10 Desk conceded to the zeitgeist in its final dispatch of the year — rather than clawing against it like it might’ve stubbornly been inclined to do during less-exhausting years — the QS office was able to find consolation in the fact that this tre flip could be left behind in the year it had come to define.

And what better way to palette-cleanse and usher in a new year for tre flips than… over a hundred new tre flips?

After 10 O’Clock, I Ain’t Going Out Tonight — Best of 2025 Montage

“Excuse me sir, your phone and pills are on the ledge we’re trying to skate.”

As the company charter dictates, before we put the lid on 2025, we must chop up a bunch of clips from the past twelve months to the year’s defining songs. And man, is it a tremendous relief to have MexikoDro soundtracking the chilling-but-sometimes-hitting-the-bar experience in 2025. If someone can make “woke up, took a shower, got dressed” sound that fuckin’ cool, there’s no reason for you not to find the magic in the routine of your own life, yaknow? Beyond that, we’d like to welcome Tinashe back to the fold of the “Best of” edit #musicsupervision for the first time since 2014 …with a song that sounds like it’s right out of 2014 (in a good way, obvs.) And if you didn’t hear “Shake It To The Max” seventeen billion times this year, you didn’t leave your house. Here’s one more.

Otherwise, we filmed Antonio and K.T. do seventeen billion switch tre’s, went to Lisbon, and got stuck at the Banks more than once. Thanks everyone for rocking with us this year, and thanks to Jefé and K.T. for filming a bunch of the phone clips. See everyone in 2026 ❤️

(There was some fuzzy audio shit in a couple of the clips I couldn’t figure out, but December 30th isn’t a day for troubleshooting. It’s an edit for the bros, not Cannes.)

Rock Salt Apocalypse

Tristan Mershon uploaded Singer Tower in its 46-minute entirety. Nate Grzechowiak has a banger of an opening part that hadn’t been shared as a single anywhere. Some of those spots must’ve been around for less than 24 hours. Pays to stay on foot.

Simple Magic rounded up the best skateboard writing of 2025, with Mike’s “What’s The Matter With Skateboarding?” shop survey piece and Jacques’ “Skateboarding & The Silver Screen” piece making the list. (Also thanks for the nod on the Tim Duncan pants piece + the waxing ledges one. Those were fun to do.)
