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.)

The Best Skate Videos & Parts of 2025 — QS Readers Poll Results

🎨 Graphic by Francesco Pini
📊 Ballot Count by 4PLY

The results are in and we now have a snapshot of skateboarding in 2025, as voted on by QS readers. Unlike past years, when there was sometimes only a few vote split between first and second place, ties, etc., for the most part, everything cleanly landed where it landed this year.

And it should be said that this listing was voted on between 10:30 A.M. on Monday, December 8th until 5:30 P.M. on Friday, December 12th. Chris Joslin’s “G-Ma” part, which would earn him Thrasher‘s S.O.T.Y. trophy, was released around noon on Wednesday the 10th. Zion Wright’s part was released the morning of Thursday, the 11th. A similar thing happened the year that Miles Silvas won S.O.T.Y. But one hill we will gladly die on is that nobody wants to talk about year-end recap stuff in the following year. We will extend eligibility to any parts that came out starting December 8th into next year’s ranking.

To anyone just joining us: This is NOT a selection curated by QS staff. Editors and contributors can vote, but this was tallied across hundreds of publicly submitted ballots. If you’re interested in the methodology, 4PLY broke down how we tally the votes
