25 Summers

ICYMI: Bam @ the Banks. Beautiful.

“The actual act of skating may well be regarded these days as a springboard to male modeling, coaching-obligatory Olympic dream chasing, or a ticket to hanging out with the dads skating the curb in front of the skatepark.” Boil the Ocean uses the summer’s premier blockbuster film as a springboard to explore skateboarding’s 2026 ailments. One went unmentioned though: there’s no 2026 Bam. Or Ryan. Or Tony.

The Skate Muzik podcast has a Marc Johnson tribute episode full of the songs that have been used throughout his parts.

“They just seem to think we’re gonna keep hanging out forever, keep going to these parties, and keep going to the skatepark. But no one really realizes there’s gonna be a last day you all show up there.” Anthony Pappalardo The Writer interviewed Genesis C.E.O. Ian Ostrowski. He’s not wrong: it was yesterday that we were all locked down in January ’21 watching Genesis 2.

It’s Just Another Cyber Monday

Do you have $99,000 lying around? Want to own a skatepark [a lil’ over an hour from the city]? Peekskill’s 2nd Nature park is for sale. No cybermonday promo code for that though ;)

The promo for the upcoming Late Nite Stars full-length video went live last week. (Yes, a Trung sighting is included.)

Shari White made a new 11-minute edit called “Gleek / Blueberries,” featuring a solid chunk of Dustin Henry footage + appearances from Una, Breana, Nelly, Stafhon, Shealy, Chandler Burton and a mini curtains section from Evan Wasser.

Pretty much all of our collective experiences of Copenhagen are within the bipolar high that is the Scandinavian Summer. For a bit of a reality check of what it’s like on the opposite side of that seasonal coin, our friends at Dancer dropped an “Endless Winter” montage featuring Hjalte, David Stenström + others. Still seems pretty fun, tbh.

Some nice bits of New York footage in the Charlotte-based AVENUE video parts that have been dropping across a few outlets: Vague has Jermaine Whittaker’s part, which includes a 10/10 Three Up Three Down performance, and Skate Jawn has Ethan Kaplan’s part, which includes a NBD (?) ollie at the white building plaza across from Pyramid Ledges.

Orchard Skateshop Capo, Armin Bachman, has a new mini part out for Pepper Griptape. That bank to curb ender in Barcelona really came out of nowhere 💥

The Duplex crew has a new montage video series on Thrasher, entitled “Low Rent.”

Spring in February

“That could have been me.” The Guardian spoke to several Black skateboarders — including our dear friend Aaron Wiggs, along with Harold Hunter Foundation chair + architect of The Black List, Patrick Kigongo — about their experiences in the shadow of Tyre Nichols’ murder at the hands of police.

“Yeah! At Glendale High!” Farran Golding had Nelly Morville talk over her Paymaster part about how the Limosine connection came to be + filming for their inaugural video.

Columbus Circle continues to enjoy its reign as the spot of the winter: Christian Kerr just dropped an edit with a days’ worth of Columbus footage, and yes, you get to see Gabe Tennen shred in it! It’s a foregone conclusion someone is going to drop a one-spot part from there by May, right?
