J.P. Blair‘s next video, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT (sounds like a Drake album, tbh), premieres at Cinema Village on May 1, with showings at 8 + 8:45 P.M. Flyer here. 22 E. 12th Street. Not to be confused with Village East, also on E. 12th Street, but further east.

STAGEDIVE420” is a really sick all-NYC montage featuring a lot of homies and some pro homies by Daniel Star. Gabriel Fortunato’s two pole-jam tricks were beautiful.

Our friend and longtime staple of the Duplex universe, Dan Lundy, has a new five-minute Florida edit featuring Andrew Wilson, some wild Joel Minholz footage, the Andrew crew, and a bearded Pedro Delfino somehow not snapping his board on that final clip.

Long Day At The Content Factory

Johnny Cumaoglu with the first Small Banks clip heard around the world DMs + ok, so now we need a Shintaro Hongo one-spot part at the Brooklyn Banks, ASAP + @banks_at_six Small Banks reportage has begun 🧱 (“You wanna skate a curb in Central Park??? We’re going to the Banks, buddy! Six o’clock!”)

We are a long way from “cherry.” Last week coincided with two profiles of its stars and their grown-up lives: Christian Kerr profiled Tyshawn Jones for Hypebeast (“This is probably my last interview for a while. We’re going to let the skating talk. Then when the skating is done, they’ll ask for more interviews”) + Sage Elsesser was profiled by the High Snobiety magazine.

On The Sunny Side Of The Street

Mark Suciu by 📷 Cole Giordano via the new issue of Closer Skateboarding, which has that incredible Evan Wasser cover dropping in on that red cube behind Zuccotti. FWIW, Zered said he only went halfway up for his drop-in, before anyone gets all precious about it ;)

Tyshawn was on The Breakfast Club for a half-hour-long interview. It is obviously for a radio station, so you’re getting some radio station ass questions about skateboarding, but he doesn’t do a ton of interviews, so there you go. New THPS game otw just casually thrown in there, too.

“It’s crazy you are doing tricks you’ve never done 30 years later.” Never know when these come out because none of their posts are dated, but No Comply Network has a lllllloooooong interview with Zered Bassett, apparently from a few weeks ago. They cover everything from first getting into skating on Cape Cod, right through life after Alltimers.

City of Scaffolds

“The pop guys are good looking and the drop guys are weird looking.” Lurker Lou and Aaron Herrington head out to Staten Island to skate “anything besides ABC Ledges” in the latest installment of Village Psychic’s “Lurking With Lou” series.

It takes Shaggy nearly 100 blocks to spend $100 in the latest installment of Skate Jawn‘s “$100 Chill” feature, which spans from World Trade to the Upper West Side. If you’ve always wondered what goes on inside the mind of skateboarding’s most prolific letter-writer, this is a nice intro ☺️

“In response to an art-making AI, the only comforting thing is, who cares? Art has never been about being proficient and skilled at making images with mediums. It’s always been about the time and the place and the person behind it and the story, and a computer doesn’t have any of that.” Jenkem spoke to Alexis Sablone about AI art, secret societies and invisibility cloaks.

Thousand Dollar Kiss

Naquan Rollings released a new edit on YouTube. Mostly L.A. stuff, with a bit of New York. Features all the staple characters from Naquan edits, and an impeccable transition from Sada Baby to MF Doom, whose MM..Food album has been #trending a bit as of late…

Jason Byoun made a recap edit of the Hardbody trip to L.A. Lots of food pics. Hard to watch and not get hungry 🌯

Torn to shit by weather and use, bondo’d back to functionality, and still standing — the Trenton Banks have to be one of the longest-standing O.G. New Jersey spots at this point. Phat House dropped a “10 Years of Trenton Banks” covering a greatest hits of their crew’s footage at the spot, and including a young Ishod Wair doing something obviously insane.

Simple Magic released an updated version of its Skaters With Glasses Power Ranking, which can’t resist the easy puns like “he may need glasses, but [Diego] Todd’s vision is 20/20 when it comes to finding and figuring out interesting, unassuming, and downright dangerous skate spots.”
