Anyone try skating the new Battery Park yet? Prob a bit crowded…

It’s funny when the knob that they skate-block a spot with becomes an apparatus for tricks like a fakie inward heel switch fifty front 180 out — pretty much ramping up the level of technicality possible on a spot more than if they had just left it alone. All that and more in Ben Patrick’s fakie-forward Coda Skateboards part, released via our friends at Village Psychic.

“It’s a certain type of punishment to have to watch a video you worked really hard on over and over and over… it’s gnarly. I’m only two premieres in, and I’m already losing my mind a little bit.” Simple Magic spoke to Ryan Lay about the Sci-Fi Fantasy premiere tour, and the return [?] of touring skate moments in general.

Baseball bats, socks with rocks in them, Vesuvio Playground mafia kids, etc. Eli Gesner is the latest guest on Transworld’s “When The Brooklyn Banks Were Dangerous” series, re-telling the famous Banks Halloween story that sounds like a cross between The Warriors and After Hours if both movies had skateboarders starring in them. Pretty sure he told it on an old Nine Club (“This dude just explained the plots of 20 different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies“), but this one has the added bonus of being at the actual locations. P.S. If you witnessed the fallout of a certain incident last week, you can probably make the case of the Brooklyn Banks …still being …nevermind.

The Summer of Seward continues for the second year in a row. (Ollie up the seven remains NBD, right?) Blake Carpenter, Art Cordova, Thomas Dritsas, and Daniel Teran star in a Vinyl Skateboards “Summer Trip To New York” edit by Kevin Perez.

The Fargo Skateboarding crew from Illinois also dropped a trip to New York edit. Wild that the Marcy Ledges are even popping up in trip videos now.

“This took 6 four hour sessions, 8 gallons of lacquer, 4 sets of rails, 3 grinder blades, 2 custom longboards, 1 law enforcement evasion tactic and 20+ hours of labor.” — Satan. Kyle Walsh on the boardslide, Alex Papke on the photo for Satan’s Drano.

Do not forget to enter the Blue Park Obstacle Design Contest that we are hosting with Tenant! All entries due by EOD this Friday, February 2 🔵

🚨🍝 We have a Mommy’s Little Meatball tee sighting! 🍝🚨 Germany’s Irregular skate mag made a very fire Summer Trip To New York edit featuring Denny Pham, Daniel Ledermann (doing the best backside flip imaginable, naturally), Nassim Lachhab and more. The whole thing really picks up a few octaves towards the end, too.

The city announced a partnership with The Skatepark Project (formerly the Tony Hawk Foundation) that will renovate objectively two of the worst skateparks in New York (the one inside Brower and this one in The Bronx that some people from The Bronx don’t even know exists), plus build new ones in Soundview and Prospect Park. Waiting on that phase two announcement for the Banks though…

“Leftover and lost footage, glitched tapes, steady shot on, broken mic, windshield lens, and other angles.” Paul Coots uploaded a twenty-minute, black-and-white raw reel of outtakes from The HIT Video, which dropped this time, two years ago. Heavy on the Max clips, obvs. Rumor has it that Coots is working on a sequel! 🤞

Transworld, which apparently has the rights to the 411VM archive (or something to that effect, idk), revived the video magazine’s “Spot Check” featurette for a modern version. The first installment is shot by Mike Sass and checks out Borough Hall, covering every corner from the micro curved ledge to the tall ‘n short handrails.

Lee Madden and the Orchard crew put together a 2013-2023 retrospective edit of Brian Reid’s footage on account of him joining the pro ranks ❤️
