Let’s get personal: Are you a 2026 Monday Links reader? Thank you. You know what this means. We have celebrated the 2011 Mavs, we celebrated the 2019 Raptors — and we were confident this would never happen. Thank you for being along for the ride. This is special for all of them. Jose’s arc is particularly beautiful. Do you want editorial? Sorry. This is fucking insane. Bye. (You’re a 2026 Monday Links reader. You get it.)

Also, if you are in the “I thought I’d cry if this ever happened, why am I not crying”-crowd… watch the Mike Breen video. Thanks Mike.

Go Skate Day will be at the Brooklyn Banks this Sunday, June 21st from 1-5 P.M. 🧱

The Do Or Die D.I.Y. in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn is holding a GoFundMe for their next series of builds. If you don’t know about the space, Jenkem did a video profile of the crew earlier this year.

You gotta wonder what the reply rate would be if you hit your widest-spanning group chat suggesting you skate a …concreted-barrier-turned-spine under a bridge in Pittsburgh that you gotta shovel snow off of — at night. Those are the sorts of lifers found in Wyatt Nicholas’ One Jagged Loaf video out of Pittsburgh, with parts from Jay Pitser, Alex Nivison and Eli Campbell. Love the nollie flips in this one.

Naquan Rollings dropped an edit of Chucky Lane skating the Supreme Brooklyn bowl.

Shaquille Waite filmed his two homies from Japan ripping around downtown. Lines down the Chase stairs never go out of style. Half cab flip was divine.

Montreal That Was Switch

Daily News August 25th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 5

Our friends at Skate Jawn celebrated their 15th birthday last week. To commemorate, they brought a 1999 Toyota Camry and Hell Camino to K-Bridge and skated them.

Seems like there’s a new sub-genre of skate content brewing where we all try to get to the bottom of what’s the “matter,” “wrong” or “off” about skateboarding. Bubble just dropped one boldly called “A Few Theories Why Skateboarding Got Old And Is Not Cool Anymore.” (Their sources aren’t anonymous like ours were.) Can’t help but point out that other interests that hold this media empire together (rap, NBA basketball, etc.) have also been the subjects of recent “OMG WHAT’S THE MATTER” panics, and pretty sure those’ll be fine. Like what’s doing “well” as a “culture” in 2025 even mean? The bop house?
