While Portugal remains one of the most-pinned destinations for skate travel in the post-pandemic years, the leading light for what the local scene has going on has been provided by Lisbon’s Cybercafé Skateshop.
It is no secret that we love a part shared between best friends, so today we are proud to present their latest: “JOGO DUPLO,” which is a joint part between best friends Daniel Crespo and Luis Ceita, who grew up skating together in Barreiro, a city across the river from Lisbon.
Much closed-door (and open-door!) discourse has been made about how evasive skateboard productivity can be to outsiders in Japan. Not that there haven’t been countless incredible Japan edits starring foreigners — but there is always an expectation v.s. reality thing to new arrivals. Navigating busts and crowds is a more algorithmic endeavor there than in other premier skate destinations, hence a palpable difference in how otherworldly the homegrown videos from Japanese locals feel.
Carhartt WIP Japan video premieres at the shop on Bedford this Thursday.
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 ;)
Max Palmer got the Pocket “Followed” treatment as they …followed him from his home, to his studio, to Fort Green Park, and then to pizza ❤️ Might be the first or second time many people are hearing Max talk.
Richie Blackshaw has a new part for Metal Skateboards via Vague — full of New Jersey crust and a Fred Gall-ian eye for spots. That 5-0 pivot down the edge on those banks across from Lincoln Center was so wild. Video by Brandon Stepanow.
An extended dive into the last days of Muni + a Pyramid Ledge banger (into the construction!) in Kiernan McGinnis’ “Budget Junglizm” part that feels adjacent to the Sabotage universe.
Quinn Batley dropped a quick mini part for Melodi.
