Still Here

Daily News January 20th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 2

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 :)

Atlanta Report — Worldformation’s ‘BACKPAIN’ Video

Daily News April 10th, 2023 · 12:00 pm

BACKPAIN is Worldformation’s follow-up to ATLWINGS, the great Atlanta scene video that snuck late into 2021’s Skateboard Oscars Season™. (You might remember the front feeble pinch heard around the world, the Young Thug beat drop on the forward flip, Ron Parker’s closer part, or any other number of highlights.)

The sequel is as thoughtfully put together as the last, if edited even more tightly and covering every type of skateboarding you could do traveling back and forth between Atlanta and New York. It even includes an opener from QS office favorite, Eddie Vargas Jr. + a mini dedication to the beauty of just fucking around at a two-stair all day towards the end.

“In 2021, Joey O’Brien won by 28 points. In 2020, Tom Knox won by a whopping 534 points. The inverse is true with full lengths. In 2020, Cons’ Seize the Seconds video won by just 18 points over FA’s Dancing On Thin Ice. In 2021, The Reuben won by a sizable 174 points.” 4Ply Mag, the official statisticians behind the QS Readers Poll, wrote a deep-dive on the methodology and breakdown of how the votes got tallied 📊

A four-minute Carl Aikens IG loosies comp (pretty much all city footy.)

Polar videographer Tor Ström has an incredible new edit out entitled, “Until Then.” Filmed in Malmö, Copenhagen and Portland, Oregon (funny how those places half-a-world apart feel so spiritually connected by terrain, D.I.Ys and weather.) Features much of the Polar extended family.
