Clips Regardless

Daily News August 24th, 2026 · 12:00 am

Naquan Rollings posted up a four-minute dispatch from Tompkins this summer. Some Nikolai wizardry on the ledge, some psycho John Dilo mannys, and naturally, a giant NYCShawn tre.

Suciu, Cooper Qua, Nicole Hause and Jiro all skated a bunch of New York staples in a new Thunder Trucks four days in New York edit. It’s insane that after probably hours-worth of Suciu parts, he can still make you say “wtf” out loud at the screen. That 180 into the brick bank just outside the Brooklyn side of the Manhattan Bridge is insane. Same one from the crazy Alan Bell slam. (“Bro, that slam fucking sucked.”)

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.

Cooper Qua is from Albany, New York and is the youngest team rider on Quasi Skateboards. His debut video part for the company is in their latest video, Hard Reset. I sat down with Cooper at Tompkins to chat about the future of Quasi and to hear about his dream of becoming a pro skateboarder as a teenager from Upstate New York.

Sunday Night Live — Quasi’s “HARD RESET” Video Is Online

Daily News March 22nd, 2026 · 10:30 pm

There is a social media manager rolling in his grave somewhere at the thought of dropping the season’s marquee skate video on a Sunday night, but if people only did things that made sense, we probably wouldn’t be starting skate companies in the first place ❤️

A Great Use Of Your Time — EC Melodi’s “Wasting Time” Video

Daily News November 7th, 2025 · 1:05 pm · 1

EC Melodi, the half-New York / half-Atlanta outfit that originally started putting out routine full-lengths back in 2019, was always good for at least one sizable project a year. Then, a hiatus began after Break Your Legs over two years ago — even if the secondhand pain of that boardslide sack on the bench remained seared into the imagination (see #16.)

You can always tell the difference when a crew locks in for the video. There is a subtle shift in the end goal: it transforms from “the video comes out when we have enough clips” to “the video comes out when it feels done.” Think the multi-year hiatus away from full-lengths before Bronze’s It’s Time, or the long crumb-trail of Insta edits before John’s Vid.

Wasting Time feels like that new arrival video for Melodi.
