Happy New Year ✨

“I try to laugh as much as I can, be hyped and just try to push myself to remember shit can be so much worse. The most random shit gets me pumped, I really just remember to talk to strangers, smile, or whatever. It really works.” Monster Children posted their profile of Q.S.S.O.T.Y. Karim Callender online.

“I’m not gardening, but I would be down to.” They also shared an interview with Diego Todd.

Skate Jawn went out to Cleveland for Zack May to spend the first hundo of 2026 in the latest installment of their “$100 Chill” series. Shout out to all the wholesome fellas out there allocating a bit of their $100 for their girlfriends. And shout out to pirogies.

The Best Skate Videos & Parts of 2025 — QS Readers Poll Results

Features & Interviews December 24th, 2025 · 12:00 am · 13

📊 Ballot Count by 4PLY

The results are in and we now have a snapshot of skateboarding in 2025, as voted on by QS readers. Unlike past years, when there was sometimes only a few vote split between first and second place, ties, etc., for the most part, everything cleanly landed where it landed this year.

And it should be said that this listing was voted on between 10:30 A.M. on Monday, December 8th until 5:30 P.M. on Friday, December 12th. Chris Joslin’s “G-Ma” part, which would earn him Thrasher‘s S.O.T.Y. trophy, was released around noon on Wednesday the 10th. Zion Wright’s part was released the morning of Thursday, the 11th. A similar thing happened the year that Miles Silvas won S.O.T.Y. But one hill we will gladly die on is that nobody wants to talk about year-end recap stuff in the following year. We will extend eligibility to any parts that came out starting December 8th into next year’s ranking.

To anyone just joining us: This is NOT a selection curated by QS staff. Editors and contributors can vote, but this was tallied across hundreds of publicly submitted ballots. If you’re interested in the methodology, 4PLY broke down how we tally the votes ✨

Summer Gotta End Someday Yo

East River Park south of Delancey opened on Friday. This means that the bridge that once lead to Alligator Ledge is back, although — brace yourself for bad news — it will not feature an Alligator Ledge. It does, however, include some suburban parking lot manny pads.

📅 1) Naquan & crew crew are hosting a skate jam with Thrasher at the Red Hook Skatepark tomorrow (9/9) @ 3 P.M. Flyer here. 2) Asics will be premiering their new video by Jacob Harris, A Guided Tour, at Palace Bar in Greenpoint this Thursday @ 8 PM. 21+. Flyer here.

“Will Steve Rodriguez and Gotham Park ultimately need to petition city hall to install a higher-yet rail or add several kinks? Does Antonio Durao’s membership in the rarified club of street handrail switch backside noseblunters put him on track to join the yet-more exclusive cadre of street handrail switch kickflip backside noseblunters?” …yeah, um, about that. Boil the Ocean wrote about how good the skateboarding going down at the Banks 2.0 is.

Mike Sass uploaded a raw reel from one of 2025’s best New York parts [or anywhere-parts, for that matter]: Neil Herrick 5Ball Re-Rack. Love when you can feel the intentionality in raw file editing v.s. it feeling like a footage dump. Best of all …they just decided to throw in an entire bonus part at the end. Some of that footy is way to good to be sitting at the last two minutes of an eighteen-minute timeline. [16:30 mark.]

Krooked returned to its Gnaughty and Gnar Gnar roots and got the lo-def camera out for “Weirdo 01,” a bro cam excursion to New York featuring the majority of the team (Bobby back at Three Up!), and a mini Andrew Wilson part at the end. Feels like between this and the NBA Youngboy video (lol), remodeled Zeigfeld is having a comeback year.

“Last week there was a feeling of some divine mission having been completed, with Anti-Hero bestowing professional status upon Nick Matthews.” Boil the Ocean wrote about Nick Matthews finally getting the pro nod in its latest.

Another 1 — “A Diego Todd Video For Stüssy” By Jesse Alba

Daily News July 25th, 2025 · 3:50 pm

Not even one month removed from his Hockey IV part — and thus an official coronation into the ranks of skateboarding’s tech gods — Diego Todd has a new part out for Stüssy, directed under the helm of Life Is Goodie* auteur, Jesse Alba.

It should be pointed out that not celebrating the ten-year anniversary of Life Is Goodie on 4/20 this year was egregious professional negligence on our part, and the newsroom has not heard the last of it.

Diego’s part has him further expanding his technical superpowers as he enters his Shane O’Neill era. Enclosed you will find some back tail big flips, a spine-contorting ender that would send any skater ten years his senior to the chiropractor by the fifth try, and some proof that noseblunt nollie flips are actually easy — just like the south Americans said. All of this is made all the more impressive by the fact that 75% of the part looks like it was filmed in a single Puerto Rico trip alongside his Stüssonian bandmates.

Devastated we couldn’t make the premiere at Duke’s. They look like they have a dope Bloody Mary.
