For You … Only The Best

2025? Waxing ledges was contagious. 2026? Hell Rides are contagious.

Solid bit of New York footage, including a marathon line at the Museum, in Denny Pham’s globe-trotting “Intersections” part that went live on Free last week.

Someone at the Late Nite Stars video department saw that Jiro concoction and decided it’s a good time to finally drop the montage of their crew on the “Stars of Midnight” obstacle. Cooper Winterson opens up the LNS montage on the most Cooper Winterson obstacle ever, and the set-ups only get wackier from there ;)

“I would love some …poke bowl.” Petar Stantchev spends some Euros on Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” series. Didn’t know Barcelona just had wild boars running around the hills.

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.

One Fish, One Clip, C’mon

We built a longass box and are throwing a cash for tricks jam at Tompkins this Saturday, October 18 at 3 P.M. 📅 First person to one-foot crook the entire thing gets a hundred bucks.

Follow Filming, a new YouTube channel that does skate-related video essays, compiled a fifteen-minute dive into the history of something everybody reading this has skated at one point: “The Story of the Element Flatbar.” Farran said “It’s like 99% Invisible for kids who grew up skating in their driveway.”

New fifteen-minute video out of Pittsburgh, forever one of the most unique skate scenes in the country: “THIS PLACE SUCKS” is a new one by Gavin McGinty. Unique spots, thoughtfully put-together, and why do Pittsburgh videos always feel like they skate completely different shit than the last big Pittsburgh video you saw?

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?
