MACBA Report — Brayan Albarenga’s Hélas Part

Video November 26th, 2025 · 12:00 am

Brayan Albarenga is no-doubt one of the first names associated with IG clips at Barcelona’s enduring landmarks: MACBA, Universitat, Para-lel. Those three have endured as fixtures in videos for three decades now, but over time, Barcelona-heavy parts and edits have widened their radius, extending into the city’s less-touristed zones for fresh spots.

And that applies to Mr. Albarenga’s actual video parts as much as it does for any other third-eye-open skaters scouring the outskirts of the city. His last two for Free are filmed everywhere.

This new one for Hélas though, is back on the home turf 📍

Barcelona Report — YEAHLEYEAH “Eurday” Part

Video October 23rd, 2025 · 12:00 am

One of the most prolific skate media franchises of the past ~decade has been Gronze. They carry a remarkable ability to dig into the outskirt neighborhoods of Barcelona, and tackle the sort of spots that your average skate tourist would not even glance at. (Really wish the “11th of the Month” series would make a comeback.) I imagine it’s kinda like what trawling for crust in Ridgewood or Maspeth is for us in New York — except for them, it’s in a city known for its flawless, low-bust spots and skate bucket-list pedigree.

Today, we’re proud to present a part from one of the franchise’s frigureheads, Fred Plocque Santos. “Eurday” was made with his friend Noyan, and premiered at the Vladimir Film Festival earlier this year. The results are a dive into those aforementioned outskirts, with boardslides down near-vertical knobbed rails, hubbas in the shape of quarterpipes, a highway-adjacent Max Palmer spot cousin, and a whole new take on the concept of subway skating.

Tired In Manhattan

Neema Joorabchi’s new video, “if u kno,” has parts from Isaac White and Jasper Stieve, who might’ve turned in one of the most impressive collections of tricks on two wheels done within New York City limits. Hurricane to manny Fort Greene! The Dill Family Court ender …switch! And more! (Still feel guilty about not giving this one its proper due on the front page on account of some timezone juggling, but Jasper’s probably working on another part already, right?)

“Hey man, do you think maybe we could just go to a dead-end street where no one will bother us, and just skate a ledge? We could film, but we could also just chill.”

“Business²” is an eleven-minute edit from Hefty Krew. All New York clips, with some fire Brandon Johnson footage at the end.

It’s Nice To Have An Ender — An Interview With Tyler Surrey

🔑 Interview by Adam Abada

While we have been fans of Sk8mafia since forever — as evidenced by a decade-plus of Quote of the Week installments — QS is likely not the first news source you would go to for an interview with one of San Diego’s brightest sons. But we have been Tyler Surrey fans for a long time, admiring the dude’s ability to drop video parts that feel wholly complete and thought-through, without a moment ever feeling it’s its veering into a footage dump.

Tyler’s Indy part from late last year was a QS office favorite, so we got him on the line to discuss life as a working skateboarder, evolving your eye with age, and what’s good with living in Barcelona circa 2024, er …2025.

Karim by Atiba 📷

Pocket set out to capture the endless good vibes that emenate when you’re kicking it with Karim Callender for their “Followed” series. Yeah, they succeeded ❤️

“I don’t want to be the first skateboarder to skate the ramp and the first skateboarder to break the museum.” Alexis Sablone spoke to the New Yorker about being the first person to ever skate inside the Guggenheim for her Converse pro model commercial.

The Lookback Library got ahold of Gino Iannucci to talk about his two magazine covers — both switch flips and both from 2004. (How the hell has Gino only had two covers? Especially coming from the era where there were four or five magazines?!)
