Montreal That Was Switch

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?

Mike Sass uploaded a raw reel from one of 2025’s best New York parts [or anywhere-parts, for that matter]: Neil Herrick 5Ball Re-Rack. Love when you can feel the intentionality in raw file editing v.s. it feeling like a footage dump. Best of all …they just decided to throw in an entire bonus part at the end. Some of that footy is way to good to be sitting at the last two minutes of an eighteen-minute timeline. [16:30 mark.]

Krooked returned to its Gnaughty and Gnar Gnar roots and got the lo-def camera out for “Weirdo 01,” a bro cam excursion to New York featuring the majority of the team (Bobby back at Three Up!), and a mini Andrew Wilson part at the end. Feels like between this and the NBA Youngboy video (lol), remodeled Zeigfeld is having a comeback year.

“Last week there was a feeling of some divine mission having been completed, with Anti-Hero bestowing professional status upon Nick Matthews.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Nick Matthews finally getting the pro nod in its latest.

T-Funk’s financial advice to his future children: “Don’t look up to me.” He thinks Tom Scharr is trying to be Bob Burnquist, but Bob Burnquist says he himself wants to be Tom Scharr. Satan’s Drano siphoned the Hot Ones format through a satanic offshoot of 90s public access TV for their show, The Last Supper, and their first guest is Tristan Funkhouser.

Melodi dropped a quick edit for their Spitfire collab. Mostly New York clips, with a lot of homies. Quinn, Coles, Gabe ‘n them :)

Heat Wave?

Village Psychic has the web premiere of Kevin Barthold’s part in A 20 Of Regular, which covers every genre of New Jersey crust imaginable.

Some spots only last a day. Neil Herrick talks through three photos and a couple of trick battles he had from 5Boro’s 5Ball video with Skate Jawn.

“In the 80s in the New York, Halloween was a license for craziness. It was beyond egging cars. It was a lot of violence…” TWS spoke with O.G. Bruno Musso (if you have the Full Bleed book, that’s Musso on the cover) about the 80s and early 90s days of the Brooklyn Banks.

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…
