Y’all Won

Monday Links on a Tuesday on account of the holiday…

Quartersnacks makes a Knicks hat, and then the Knicks make the Finals for the first time in 27 years. Coincidence? Definitely not.

“If you’re painting in fear, that’s a bad state.” Antonio Durao is a painter.

Jermaine Whittaker has a new part with his 5301 CLT crew down in Charlotte, made in tribute to their friend, Nate Stout. Some New York dispersed between Carolina crust.

Two new ones from the next gens out of Europe: “BUG OUTTA HERE” by Moritz Ueberall and the BUG crew out of Hamburg + “Rustiq” by Stellavision, a young crew out of Paris. There’s some Trung guest clips in there too ;)

Kilian Zehnder’s “4M” part has a good batch of New York footy at the start. Switch flip back noseblunt is a demonic thing to try at Lenox.

Hot Banks Summer

Thanks to everyone who grabbed a piece of Snacks in Progress merch. We still have free shipping on all orders over $50 for the time being 📦 Shout out to the deli men who keep our lives running 24 hours.

Free has a premiere of Garrett Boozer’s opening part in Matty Hilzenrath’s all-NJ video, A $20 Of Regular. All those Peaches lines + 5050 flip back tail + the flip back noseblunt bonk on the sewer cap + the fuckin’ nose manny nollie flip on the goddamn grate bridge = one of the best Jersey parts in recent memory. We’ll be premiering a part from it this week, and hardcopies of the full thing are due out soon.

Jamie Reyes has been inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame 👑

Civil Skateshop’s first-ever full-length video is now live. Filmed enitrely in Rhode Island, our country’s smallest state with no shortage of crust and the occasional slab of inviting marble ;)

‘Where Were You When I Was [Pop] Shoving In The Sleeveless?’

Thanks to everyone who grabbed something from the webstore ❤️ Should be caught up on shipping orders soon. Available at skateshops worldwide now.

Everyone who has logged years skating Tompkins has an immediate answer to “what’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen walking into the Tompkins bathroom?” Let’s see if the $5 million they put into renovating it keeps it from becoming the tenth ring of hell again. Now open!

“Yeah, I think that when you show everything, it allows more people in. There are people I know who don’t skate who have watched this and for them it’s like a hero’s journey or something: You’re watching someone go through something, and you can maybe sympathize with me, or maybe think I’m insane, but you get that I’m trying really hard to do something. You don’t need to understand the context for the tricks to get that.” The menswear SubStack, Blackbird Skyplane, got the elusive Bobby DeKeyzer on the horn for an interview about his new part.

R.I.P. Metrocards

Congrats to Nelly Morville on the pro board for Limo! 🎆

Angel Fonseca and the Papi Brand dudes up in The Bronx dropped a new bro cam edit called “Dude, Where’s That Spot,” which’ll have you asking… “dude, where’s that spot?” So fire how nobody skates the downtown Brooklyn skatepark, but you’ll still see that curb down the stairs pop up in edits as a street spot.

Paul Young has been uploading single parts from his Down By Law video, on the occasion that you want a micro-dose: Luke Malaney + the Traffic team, Arty Smith, Grady Smith, German Nieves, Justin Helmkamp, Chachi/Mind Bender/Dustin, Josh Wilson, Vin Perso.

Time After Time — ‘BUG OFF’ by Hamburg’s BUG Crew

Watching a crew evolve through the lens of a homie video is one of skateboarding’s greatest vicarious features. Whether it is witnessing the growth of the Budapest scene in the Rios Crew’s videos, watching Homies Network become some of the best skaters in New York, or Rat Ratz graduating from a scratched fisheye and 360p videos into YouTube platinum territory — there’s something great about watching progression unfold over a proper succession of videos, rather than a scattershot of social media posts.

We first ran a BUG video in September 2022, in a co-presentation with our friends from Place. GET BUG was infectiously fun, and helped fill a bit of a void, because like, wtf did we know about the Hamburg skate scene? And since first tuning in, it’s been so sick to see Willow Voges Fernandes hold down the opening part in a major shoe company’s marquee video on Thrasher, or watching Theophilus Löffler carry a part all on his own on Free.
