In uncertain times, humans seek comfort. Today, this comfort is found in a house-y Johnny Wilson edit — a tried and true combination if there ever was one — anchored by Wilsonian staples like Antonio, Cyrus, Bobby, and Karim. Alongside them are Poe Pinson, Joseph Campos, Jack O’Grady, Elijah Odom, Casper Brooker, Troy Gipson and Ville Wester, aiming to find the lightning that Nelly found with his crew of St. Lunatics in 2002.
Stafhon Boca and a fan 🔥
“In a remarkable gesture of support for grassroots skateboarding, renowned skateboard designer Antonio Durao has fulfilled a long-held dream by donating a collection of his Hardbody deck models and essential skateboarding gear to the Uganda Skateboard Society.” Pretty sure E.J. designed those, but a beautiful collaboration. S.O.T.Y. shit. 🏆
No Jeff Cecere video this Christmas, but he’s working on one 🎅
Fuck This Industry made some decks, and to commemorate, dropped a full Myles Underwood part to much critical acclaim. (“Dis might be more influential then the el toro flip 💯.”)
Another 2025 TJ Rogers part?! Yep, Another 2025 TJ Rogers part!
Tao Ström dropped a new Julius Rohrberg part for Hjalte Halberg and Anton Juul’s brand, Dancer. Lots of creative approaches to classic Copenhagen spots, in addition to some new ones. Includes cameos from Hjlate, Ville et al. That ender is some real galaxy brain shit. Also spotted a vintage QS tee ;)
Daniel Wheatley posted up the trailer for his upcoming video, Blanket. Tom Knox! Charlie Birch! Nick Michael! Josh Pall! And Mingus Gamble has to be one of the greatest skate names of all time.
As a more grassroots sidebar to “Real Street,” the X-Games is [are?] hosting a bracketed video competition between local shop crews. The first bracket match-up is Baltimore’s Vu Skateshop v.s. Boston’s Orchard Skateshop.
Of all the wrestling-ass malarkey that we trick ourselves into doing, anticipating the footage of tricks on magazine covers — especially Thrasher covers — occupies a special place. Like, we watch the video mentally ignoring the fact we don’t already know what the ender is going to be. Louie Lopez alluded to it in his Village Psychic thing where he made clear his attempt to ensure the cover trick wasn’t the ender, but alas, it was.
Alltimers has began uploading B-roll and raw files from their You Deserve It video.
The first installment comes from Boil the Ocean’s seventh favorite part of 2022, visiting general of the high wall at Pulaski, survivor of peak Brandon Westgate-level slams, titleholder for last year’s best frontside nosegrind, the video’s opener, and one of Miami’s finest: Elijah Odom.
Throw on some Shawty Lo if it starts to feel lonely with just the skate noises.
