J.P. Blair‘s next video, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT (sounds like a Drake album, tbh), premieres at Cinema Village on May 1, with showings at 8 + 8:45 P.M. Flyer here. 22 E. 12th Street. Not to be confused with Village East, also on E. 12th Street, but further east.

“STAGEDIVE420” is a really sick all-NYC montage featuring a lot of homies and some pro homies by Daniel Star. Gabriel Fortunato’s two pole-jam tricks were beautiful.

Our friend and longtime staple of the Duplex universe, Dan Lundy, has a new five-minute Florida edit featuring Andrew Wilson, some wild Joel Minholz footage, the Andrew crew, and a bearded Pedro Delfino somehow not snapping his board on that final clip.

Steep Bank To Sprinter Van At The Bottom

We love all civic-minded skate media: Bubble has a 33-minute documentary about the legacy of Sants Plaza in Barcelona, which was demolished a year ago.

Coda dropped a new all-NYC edit over on Skate Jawn. Shanahan rolled in on it to start a line (see #21), but that’s the first time someone treated those amphitheaters at the Citi Field benches as a bank, right? Crazy.

“I just don’t even know no more. For me, if it doesn’t feel like the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, it doesn’t feel like I got a clip.” Really enjoyed Naquan’s 10-minute raw reel of Nikolai clips from his Venture part. Lol’d @ him being shocked at the board having the audacity to go into the water on that nosegrind. Occupational hazard for a Floridian skater, though.

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.
