One Week Until 7 P.M. Sunsets

Cyrus Bennett by Paul Grund via his latest part by Ben Chadourne.

“MAKING PLANS” is a homie video by the Thumbs NYC crew, which is prolifically good at avoiding the familiar trappings of Manhattan and Brooklyn in favor of a more northern exploration of the city. Great Olu Stanley part to close it out, and going to go ahead and say that Baked Dougie has some of the most fire flip tricks of 2025. Tre flips and nollie flips with personality. We need more of that.

Luca Mayer has a new part by Chris Patti for Skate Jawn. He might be elbow high right now, but those spots are all for the grown. Ender at the NYPL is very sick.

“THANK GOD IT’S NOT 2024 ANYMORE” is a seven-minute, all-New York montage by Shaquille Waite that’s a great time. Kickflip back lip banks rail + front three Broome Street + flip 5-0 / flip nosegrind + more, all fire. All to some 2015ish #skatevideohouse ;)

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Mark Suciu by Cole Giordano via the new issue of Closer Skateboarding, which has that incredible Evan Wasser cover dropping in on that red cube behind Zuccotti. FWIW, Zered said he only went halfway up for his drop-in, before anyone gets all precious about it ;)

Tyshawn was on The Breakfast Club for a half-hour-long interview. It is obviously for a radio station, so you’re getting some radio station ass questions about skateboarding, but he doesn’t do a ton of interviews, so there you go. New THPS game otw just casually thrown in there, too.

“It’s crazy you are doing tricks you’ve never done 30 years later.” Never know when these come out because none of their posts are dated, but No Comply Network has a lllllloooooong interview with Zered Bassett, apparently from a few weeks ago. They cover everything from first getting into skating on Cape Cod, right through life after Alltimers.

Another Beautiful Day Spent Hanging Out Under The Brickell Bridge

No chance you haven’t seen 5Boro’s 5Ball video by Mike Sass yet, right? Parts from Jimmy McDonald, Andrew Singh, Justin Fabus, Keith Hardy, Chris Anderson and Neil Herrick. Next time you’re around Grand Central, take a close look at the spot from the ender.

Stephan Singh has a new, all-NYC homie edit. Park Avenue noseslide shove was fire.

Emile, Jamie Platt, David Stenstrom, Dylan Mills & Kiki Kakitani went on a Polar trip to Austin and Salt Lake City. SLC really has to be a team manager’s dream.

Still Here

You realize all that skate blogging was worth it when you see a 2025 teenager skating Reggaeton Ledges to peak Young Jeezy. “A Third Perspective” is a sick 15-minute, all-NYC homie video from Alim Orahovac and the youngs. [Being in a homie video where one of your friends varial flips and another tre flips the Flushing grate is a mandatory rite of passage in life.]

“The video is called ‘Still in Atlanta’ because of fools who moved to New York or L.A. and were on me about staying here, saying shit like ‘Atlanta is dead.'” Jenkem spoke to Atlanta skate scene ambassador, Justin Hearn, about the ATL scene and his new video.

More Sidlauskian spot nostalgia is what we need :)

Damn That’s A Wrap, Boys

Truly an honor for QS to make Simple Magic’s year-end best skateboard writing list four times. The fact that people actually read around here means the world. Thank you, Cole. Shout out Mike, shout out Farran, shout out Adam, shout out Frozen in Carbonite.

Crazy it’s taken this long for a Muni video to get pinned onto the list… Added Brian Panebianco’s “The Final Plaza” video, which documents the final days at Philly’s Municipal Services building, to the QS One-Spot Part Map This crew’s dedication throughout the heartbreaks is truly awe-inspiring. Amazing work from all involved.

Jace Detomasso briefly spoke to Thrasher about his Reggaeton Ledges ollie, on which he dislocated his shoulder first try and had to wait a year to go back. Pretty dope how anytime Jace ollies something, people want to get him on the horn about it.
