No Spots In Spotsylvania

Daily News April 13th, 2026 · 12:00 am · 1

Adding Ratscavage’s CURB video to the Quartersnacks One-Spot Part Map 📍 CURB is a 27-minute video filmed exclusively at the 12th and Monmouth curbs / D.I.Y. in Jersey City. Heard the spot called Moishe’s ages ago, but haven’t really been tapped in with what’s going on with Jersey City skateboarding in recent times. Calling it Moishe’s on the map because “Oh jeez, I worked for Moishe, I worked for Mayflower…”

Back tail shove sorcery on the ledge between the two banks at ConEd plus more in the new Late Nite Stars throwaway edit — hopefully a hint of a new full-length on the way.

The community board approved the construction of the Brooklyn Skate Garden in Mount Prospect Park, albeit the scaled-down version that is half the size of the original plan.

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?

Catalytic converter thefts are down, shark sightings in Rockaway are up, word is that the watermelon slush spot across from Labor is turning into a wraparound French restaurant 😒, and Antonio is switch flipping the Banks rail for the timeline — that’s ~~Hollywood~~ New York babyyyyyyyyy!

“Sometimes I go overboard and end up with too many spots to choose from. Last summer, I had so many spots saved that I got overwhelmed. It was stressing me out trying to figure out which one to focus on.” Nik Stain gave a #longform interview (first ever?) to Jared Sherbert for Thrasher on account of the new Hockey video.

“Street are popping. Somebody is playing the trumpet. This is Queens.” Elisa Martini skates Flushing and supports her local in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature. Someone’s really gotta hit Queens Night Market for one of these.

Who’s Allowed To Skate The Crib?

So just in the past four days, the Brooklyn Banks reopened, Hardies threw a skate jam at D7 without incident (well, for the most part…), there’s a “~mini ramp~” at Tompkins, and summer *technically* hasn’t started yet…

Nico from Paris has a new bro cam edit out on YouTube that covers a trip to New York + Copenhagen, with an extended Paris section at the end. Probably one of the best places to see Kevin Rodrigues out in the wild …on the internet. Also includes Antonio, E.J., Hjalte + the bros.

A 420-foot nollie lipslide is essentially the same runtime as a 2025 rap song. Also posted this on the IG story only to have people be like, “He’s using rails!” I think you guys might be missing the point of a 420-foot nollie lipslide…

Keep It Skater

“Type III Fun” is a new, all-NYC video by John Lamair featuring the youngs hucking into rocks, going back for that white marble drop-in at World Trade that everyone gets washed on, and being shocked by their own inward heelflips. Great vibes the whole way through ✨

“I got an 8.25. I got Zeroes in the car!” A watershed moment for Village Psychic’s “Lurking With Lou” series: 14 years (!!!!!!!!) after Lurker Lou allegedly ruined Matt Millitano’s life by focusing his board on Slap’s One In A Million show [according to the internet], they link up to sesh spots outside of New York skateboarding’s oft-treaded zones. Joke’s on the internet, because they were friends the whole time. Also, even as someone who has known Lou for a long time, I completely took for granted that he was 28 in that show. Beards, man.

Kiernan McGinnis has a new part out for Grey Skate Mag that’s largely filmed in Philly. The control on that bank-to-rail kickflip back fifty is too good. And if you missed the nollie backside flip at the Lily Pads [R.I.P.] from last weeks’ top ten, it’s worth a loop or ten.
