A Broth Follow-Up — Jordan Trahan’s ACE Part

Daily News April 25th, 2022 · 5:25 pm · 2

There’s no part like a hometown part (or, let’s say home state part), and Jordan’s latest is a de facto sequel to his section in Broth, the New Orleans full-length that dropped late 2020.

Released by Ace (“ride these trucks or you’ll fucking die“) and under the direction of Broth videographer Charles Johnson, New Orleans skating always feels wholly of its own world — making the most of their scene, in a place truly unlike anywhere else in America. Had a chance to visit that Crescent Park pier they all skate over the holidays, and that wood ground demands an level of precision that you can only learn by having it be your local.

Thanks to everyone who grabbed something from the webstore over the weekend. Holiday QS goods should have made their way to most U.S. shops by now. Arriving in Canada + Japan this week. Europe + everywhere else next week. Thank you for the support during these shaky times ♥

If you missed it in July, now would be a good time to read Farran’s #longform Slam City interview with Tom Knox about …lines.

“It is like Tom Knox is doing missionary work, faithfully showing that London is skateable. He ardently skates his home surroundings, teaching us, like a prophet finding a spring of water in the desert.” — Everyday Hybridity re: the spots in Tom Knox’s “Atlantic Drift” part.

Thrasher posted the interview with Leo, Cher and Stephen about Glue Skateboards online.

Weekend Viewing: Jordan Trahan’s ‘Broth’ Part

Broth is a new video out of New Orleans, and it features an ender section from Jordan Trahan filmed over the past two-and-half years. A lot of Jordan’s video output since 2015’s 5BNY feels like it has come via NB# vids, most of which are filmed on skate trips abroad. There’s a special charm to established pros filming hometown parts — think Gilbert’s Bust Crew sections, or Jake’s bro cam outing in last year’s Zeta Cacti video. Watching Jordan skate Louisiana porches, do bayou-side wallies, and string together lines at whatever that rusty pier Philly and them always skate carries the same feeling. (Yes, Jordan is from Lafayette, not New Orleans, but you get the idea.)
