Munich Report — SHRN Skateshop’s ‘HYPERBOLIC’ Video

Beyond their oh-so-2000’s shop name [abbreviation for “Soo Hot Right Now”] and them being one of the first stores in Germany to carry QS gear, we’ve always felt like kindred spirits with Munich’s finest shop. We’re both descendants of what scholars call “The Blog Era,” during which we synthesized the conversations of our wider skater social circle — centered around skateboarding but also touched on life, sports, partying etc. — and created an online publication out of it. In the time since, SHRN parlayed their weblog into a physical store; we became the thriving newsroom that you see before you today.

Was tempted to call this a “bro cam” video, but it’s more. A lot of great skating here: “The 306 Video” by Neil Herrick features the 306 crew, and a lot of surprises along the way. Mostly city stuff, with a bit of upstate. The monster shuv 5050 on Courthouse was so sick.

Enjoyed this one a lot: “Lidocaine,” a seven-minute New York video by Robert Marohn. One of the great joys of watching local videos is seeing people find new ways to skate shit that buildings or the city recently skate-blocked 😈 — good bit of that in here, plus footy of the infamous 95th & Columbus brick bank spot.

Ewan Creed — who hasn’t put anything on his YouTube since The Bot Video 2 nearly four years ago (time is insane…fuck) — uploaded this montage of unused footy, with a part worth of unseen Mecca clips at the start, some young(er) Kyota footy, and other highlights from the era when the Broome Street median was a popping spot 🕰
