Golden Hour is a great, 19-minute New York scene video by Perry Scardigno, featuring a ton of “where is that spot?!” clips — assuming you can even think about skate spots right now. (Jk, K Bridge is a go at least.) Also has a sick Ricki Twohill part at the end.

“My dog was the one that originally found my cancer four years ago — she kept trying hit me in the nuts while we were playing and hit me really fucking good.” Ian Browning’s great “Rules of Skateboarding” series has formally moved from Village Psychic to Skate Bylines, and the newest installment is with TJ Rogers about the rules of publicly sharing personal things with fans of your skateboarding.

“I kind of want to skate for a brand because it’s like, ‘Okay, she has good clips!'” Free has an interview with Stella Aiha on the occasion of the new part that she dropped with Eetu Lilja.

Yesterday’s Legs Are Not Today’s Legs

This. Is. Cinema 🎬

Jenkem profiled the Utica D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy and the people who make it possible. Anytime there’s footage of dudes buying concrete, I think about the time a Home Depot employee told the Shorty’s Newark dudes that they “look like Kings of Leon” while concrete shopping.

Added the Federal Plaza section in Polymer’s Lighter Than Air video — filmed entirely at the …Federal Plaza in Akron, Ohio — to the One-Spot Part Map 📍 Didn’t know Akron had it like that.

Naquan Rollings’ “$$$nine” edit is an all-L.A. outing with a mini Thomas Dritsas part + a heelflip surprise saved for the end.

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

Features & Interviews December 24th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 13

📊 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 ✨

Digging Through Atiba’s New York Archive

Video December 9th, 2025 · 11:15 am · 2

📹 Video by Adam Abada

Back in 2021, when we did part two of the oral history behind all the skate photos featuring the Twin Towers, we got Atiba on the horn to talk through a few shots from ~1997. In doing the digging for those, he happened to uncover a small cache of unscanned New York photos he forgot about because they didn’t feel like much at the time, but obviously took on new meaning as the years went by and the world changed.

In the midst of Atiba’s monthslong media tour promoting his latest Vans collection, we visited him at his office to see just what else he had in the stash from New York. For a guy who got started working in skateboarding in San Diego in 1995, headed into what can only be described as a “golden age” for print media, we wanted to know what he saw, shot, and remembered from this city that was generally only a novelty in an era dominated by the west coast.
